??? Salt is in everything. When people hear about salt they always think about table salt but there can be comletely different salts. I like to put a french mediteranian salt on my ice creamm, it's wonderful. Salt just has a chamical in it that bringss out the flavor in things.

In food preparation, salt is used as a preservative and as a seasoning (it enhances the flavor of the food). Different salts can elicit all five basic tastes, e.g. salty (sodium chloride), sweet (lead diacetate ), sour (potassium bitartrate), bitter (magnesium sulfate), and umami or savory (monosodium glutamate).

good question. it is supposed to bring out the flavor but i dont believe it. until i get some proof, i dont add salt in things that are clearly supposed to be sweet.
