Origin and History:
Salt was vastly important in the grand scheme of human civilization. In the early days of mankind—or at least the days prior to industrialization—the process of harvesting salt was time-consuming and labor intensive. This meant that salt was a valuable commodity, and only rich people could afford it. The Romans actually paid their soldiers with salt, because it was so important for things like food preservation. In fact, the word “salary” has its root in the Latin word for salt.
The 1556 Hieroglyphica of Piero Valeriano Bolzani reports that salt was formerly a symbol of friendship, because of its lasting quality. For it makes substances more compact and preserves them for a long time: hence it was usually presented to guests before other food, to signify the abiding strength of friendship.
Although it is a little misleading, kosher salt gets its name from the Jewish practice of "koshering" meats. This includes draining all blood from the meat to prepare it for consumption, and typically this process involved using "koshering salt" to draw out the blood.
It is often easy to overlook this commonly used addition on our tables but w
ithout salt, life as we know it simply would not exist.
How to Use:
Kosher salt has a coarse and flat grain size, which makes it easy to crumble over vegetables or pinch into pasta water. Its crystal size also makes it ideal for curing meat.
A multitude of ritualistic practices include salt. Sometimes crushed up directly into a mix while in other cases simply laid down as a line of protection.
