You crave it.
You sweat it.
You curse it.
You bless it.
Salt.
🧬 It makes up 0.4% of your body.
🌍 Without it, Earth would be as lifeless as the moon.
💀 Too much, and you in danger.
⚖️ Enough, and you survive.
🪧 When salt was taxed, people revolted.
🥀 When it was missing, bodies broke down.
⚖️ When it was present, it was judged - too much, too little, too impure.
Salt has always been more than seasoning.
Once upon a time?
💰 It was worth more than gold.
🛡️ Empires were built on it.
🔥 Wars were fought over it.
Now?
🧂 We take it for granted.
💊 And your salt is being laced with a drug.
But let’s rewind:
⚔️ It sparked revolutions.
🙏 It sanctified rituals.
📿 It preserved what we dared not forget.
So what is salt, really?
A mineral.
A metaphor.
A craving.
A journey through flavor, faith, power, and survival.
And yes, there will be a few cooking tips along the way.(Always measure salt by weight, not volume.)
But this isn’t just about seasoning.
It’s in your sweat. Your blood. Your memory.
🤔 What does your body know that your mind has forgotten?
🧠 By the end of this journey,
you will never think about salt the same way again.
So let’s start where it all begins:
👉 with a craving.
