Food Salt

Food salt is an essential source of minerals and trace elements, while having great gastronomic value. It is widely used in cooking and plays an important role in preserving many foods. In the Middle Ages, it was the main means of preserving meats and fish. In several regions of Africa and Asia where refrigeration is limited, it remains essential for preserving food products. For animals, salt is equally necessary, and their needs are met through salt licks made available to them.
