How did hunter-gatherers get enough salt in their diet?

Did they just find salt on the ground and lick it? Did they drink animal blood? Did they drink ocean water (I hope not)?

I’ve always wondered this since I was a little kid.

Salt is a flavor enhancer, things with salt taste better. Pre-historic peoples would identify things that tasted the best in their day to day lives and continue to seek them out. They didn’t know it had anything to do with salt, they just knew one thing tasted better than the other.
