So, what is le sel?

Le sel is a ubiquitous yet essential ingredient in the culinary world. Known in English as salt, this mineral seasoning is extracted from various sources, including seawater, mines, and salt pans. Its primary function is to enhance the flavor of food by reducing bitterness and enhancing sweetness, while also preserving it by inhibiting bacterial growth. Besides its culinary applications, salt is also used in a range of other industries, including cosmetics, textile, and chemical manufacturing. However, excessive consumption of salt can lead to adverse health effects, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.
