What is the first thing you think when you look at Common salt kept on your table?

Yesterday, morning I got a call…from one of our family friends, she said she was coming home for lunch. I, was excited as she was going to come after a decade. So, for the next 3-4 hrs. I was busy cooking the best for her, cleaning and washing. They came, and I started serving the dishes, her favorite chicken biryani, but as soon as she took one spoon, their – something went wrong, it just didn’t have much flavor. So, she asked, for the salt shaker and sprinkled a tiny amount of salt in the biryani. “What a difference it made! It is remarkably splendid!” She exclaimed.! In fact, a little salt less or more, can alter the taste of the food. We can all agree that salt is precious for this reason alone.  Really the need of salt is very important to make the food tastier. I understood, it’s uses in depth when I studied carefully about it, which I would like to share.

Salt has an enduring quality. It can be subjected to extreme temperature. In fact, and still maintain its unique chemical composition. Because of these “enduring” qualities, salt is considered excellent.

Salt is pure. Nothing can make it impure, or infected as, it is used as a disinfectant.

Actually, the mild abrasive action of salt helps clean the teeth, and its disinfectant qualities make it an effective mouthwash.
