It's used mainly as a preservative and as a flavor enhancer. If you make oatmeal from scratch, do a small batch with the recommended amount of salt and one made without it and you'll find the one made with salt has a much better flavor without actually tasting the salt added. No salt=no flavor.

Sodium is notorious for being in our foods. It doesn't taste salty but it is in there. Read the labels and do not add salt to you foods. Use subitues such as pepper to enhance your food. Never add salt to you food.

The humorous element is that the fee menu became initially meant to make human beings think of they have been getting a great deal and purely have them purchase further and extra. it must be much less costly, yet there is not any nutritional fee in any respect.

It is used as a preservative, and also to enhance the taste.
