Salt: the most ordinary ingredient with the most extraordinary story. In this episode, we dig deep into the crystal that built trade routes, inspired revolutions, and gave life to entire cuisines. From Himalayan pink to flaky Maldon, temple offerings in India to fermented fish sauce in Southeast Asia—we explore salt’s global journey through culture, myth, science, and health debates. Plus: how did it go from sacred to scapegoat? And is sea salt really better than table salt?
