Some groups of Africans refused to eat salty foods. They prepared foods seasoned with pepper and other spices, but they didn't use salt. According to some scholars, this refusal is linked to the fact that salt marks the beginning of the slavery period of Africans.
As soon as they arrived in Brazil, they were baptized, to become Christians. During the ceremony, they ate salt.
