Comment on Why do humans put salt on nuts such as cashews (assuming they don’t just require salt to form)?
JoshuaSlowpoke777@lemmy.world 7 months agoOk, so it’s just a taste thing in this particular case, and not some other logistical thing like preservation?

The amount used on nuts you buy is for taste, preserving things in salt uses far more salt than that.

Not necessarily, brine just means a water-salt mixture. You can dry salt preserve food as well, we just don’t do it very often anymore because we have better methods of preservation these days.
