Comment on Why do humans put salt on nuts such as cashews (assuming they don’t just require salt to form)?
BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 2 years agoThe 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.
