The little white grains that sit in your salt pot have an amazing story to tell. Like many other foods, salt has a fascinating history, spanning centuries, continents and cultures. Wars have been fought over this food, empires conquered and black markets have flourished. This book describes the journey salt has taken, from prehistoric religious offering to the staple seasoning on our dinner tables today. Other topics covered are the health aspects of salt, how it is produced, its chemical properties and how it is traded around the world.
