Salt
The Dales Chef
Friday, 29 August 2025 - 11 minutes
Fish and Chips wouldn't be the same without salt - and vinegar if you choose! It is the worlds favourite flavour enhancer, exciting our tastebuds for millenia!
Did you know salt was used a currency in Roman times - that is where the word salary comes from. We explore this and other interesting facts from back in time.
Bruce talks about the benefits of salt as part of a balanced diet and about the traffic light system on food packaging, to make sure we don't overdo our salt intake.
We look at the three main salts we can buy and their differences, plus what best to fill your grinder up with.
So, from hidden salt in packaged food, to adding salt to your own cooking, the Dales Chef tells us all about what could be seen as the least exciting of all seasoning.
