Why does salt make food taste better?
In: 84
I don’t salt a lot of food myself.
I find a lot of food, especially at restaurants and processed food WAY too salty. I then end up spending a lot of the evening trying to get rid of that taste. The sheer amount of salt top end restaurants use is disgusting to me.
I personally dislike a lot of salt on steaks as well as other things. That said, I love salty popcorn and other foods, but that is specifically to taste the salty in that particular food.
The reality is, you actually get used to salty foods. Once your taste buds get used to salty items, they require salt to taste right.
So, technically, salt doesn’t make food taste better for everyone.
