EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the essence of table salt. Nestled in a delicate salt cellar, this common seasoning is not only used to add flavor to our favorite dishes but also plays a crucial role in preserving and curing food. Produced from evaporated sea water deposits, table salt, often referred to simply as "salt" holds immense importance in culinary practices worldwide. Beyond its culinary significance, the sodium present in salt serves a vital purpose within our bodies by aiding the transmission of electrical signals. However, it is important to note that excessive consumption of salt has been linked to high blood pressure. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, adults are recommended to limit their daily intake of this mineral treasure to 6 grammes. In this still life composition capturing the beauty of simplicity, we witness the raw elegance of sodium chloride crystals commonly known as halite or rock salt. This image invites us into an exploration of both science and gastronomy - reminding us that even seemingly ordinary substances can hold extraordinary value when it comes to our well-being and enjoyment at mealtimes.
