A more than natural seasoning

When you're going to prepare any dish of food, think straight away about seasonings, sauces and, hardly, you'll eat something without salt. But wait, where does the salt come from?

It couldn't be simpler: most of the salt consumed in Brazil comes from sea water. Do you know when you bathe in the sea and come out with salty skin? Salt, better known as Sodium Chloride, is a mineral, extracted from sea water or salt water lake by evaporation, a mechanism for separating mixtures.

What happens is the following: there are regions called salt marshes, where salt water is channeled. In these places, the water stands still and evaporates. But the coarse salt that remains is still not the salt we know.

Coarse salt is collected and passed through a washing tank to remove impurities. After that, the process continues: the salt is ground and washed again. Then, a centrifuge removes the water and prepares the salt for the dryer. Salt is often given other additives before it is packaged for consumption, or it can be prepared for other uses, such as the production of cosmetic products.

Salt can be a seasoning and help make your food more delicious, among other benefits. Because it has sodium, salt has a fundamental role in the balance and distribution of body fluids, also contributing to for muscle contraction, heart rate, and allowing the proper functioning of the brain and the control of vital functions of the body. However, beware, because excessive consumption of salt can cause serious blood pressure and kidney problems.

Curiosity: If today salt is widely known in food, in the past, salt was used to preserve food. Salt has the characteristic of removing water from food, ________________ prevents the proliferation of bacteria. As there used to be no refrigerator, salt was a way of preserving food.
