Importance of Salt in our food

in Foodies Bee Hive2 years ago

Salt not only gives foods a “salty” flavour, but it can also enhance other flavours, such as aromatic notes. It balances sweetness and helps suppress flavours, such as bitterness. Salt or better sodium chloride can also be a nutrient source for sodium, an essential nutrient needed by the body in small amounts.

Salt can also help your smile in indirect ways when used as an ingredient in toothpaste.

In addition to fighting bacteria, it also gives the toothpaste a foaming consistency. This is done to keep the toothpaste in your mouth where it can do the most good. Furthermore, salt is mildly abrasive; as long as it’s mixed with other ingredients so as not to damage the teeth too much, it can be quite effective in removing plaque from your enamel.
