So, what is sel alimentaire?
Sel alimentaire, also known as table salt or common salt, is a mineral compound that is widely used in the culinary world as a seasoning and preservative. It is primarily composed of sodium chloride and is typically harvested from salt mines or evaporated from seawater. Sel alimentaire is an essential ingredient in cooking, as it enhances the flavor of dishes and helps to balance the taste of sweet and sour flavors. In addition, it is often used as a natural preservative to extend the shelf life of food products. Despite its ubiquitous presence in the kitchen, sel alimentaire should be used in moderation due to its high sodium content.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
