About Salz

Salz, the German word for "salt," is a crystalline mineral primarily composed of sodium chloride. A staple seasoning in cuisines worldwide, it plays a fundamental role in flavoring and preserving foods. While essential for bodily functions like nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and fluid balance, moderation is key. Excessive salt intake can contribute to high blood pressure and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A cornerstone of German and European cooking, Salz is often featured in brines, bread recipes, and traditional dishes like pretzels and cured meats. It’s also commonly used to enhance flavors in soups, stews, and baked goods. Opting for varieties such as iodized salt can provide added nutritional benefits, as iodine supports thyroid health. For those watching sodium levels, alternatives like potassium-based salt substitutes or reduced-sodium blends can help maintain flavor while encouraging a healthier diet.
