Salt makes taste sensitivity low.

I gave up salt because of health reasons and within a few days
realised how many flavours I had been missing.

Odd, that, because I cut down on salt for years until an infection all
but killed my sense of taste. Now that I (feel) I have to use more salt
again, I find salt increases flavours.

Isn't that just the flavour of the salt?

Steve




No. I can detect 'salt' flavour, of course, but clearly recognise
intensified meat/veg flavours. A definite improvement, rather than an
imagined one.
