More about salting

Salting is one of the techniques used in food preservation. This is the process of adding salts to foods to prevent them from spoiling. Salting works by providing an hypertonic environment where bacteria and other pathogens cannot survive.

When salt is put on food, no bacteria can grow on the food because of the hypertonic nature of the salt. The bacteria present on the food loses water due to osmosis.

Fish, meat and vegetables like cabbage can all be preserved in this manner.
