% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Salt has been an integral part of civilization dating back as far as 6050 B.C.

Salt has been such an important element of life that it has been the subject of many stories, fables and folktales and is frequently referenced in fairy tales.

It served as currency at various times and places, and it has even been the cause of bitter warfare.

Offering bread and salt to visitors, in many cultures, is traditional etiquette.

Aside from all of the uses that salt performs in terms of baking, food flavor and food preservation, salt has a number of other uses that you may never have thought of:

Remove Rust

Make a paste using 6 tablespoons of salt and 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Apply paste to rusted area with a dry cloth and rub. Rinse thoroughly and dry.

Perk Up Coffee Flavor

Add a pinch of Salt to the coffee in the basket of your coffeemaker. This will improve the coffee’s flavor by helping to remove some of the acid taste.

Dispose of Disposal Odor

To help remove odors from garbage disposals, pour 1/2 cup of Salt directly into the garbage disposal. By running the disposal following manufacturer’s directions, you’ll send those odors down the drain.

Eliminate Fish Odors

Removing fish odor from your hands is simple with Salt. Just rub your hands with a lemon wedge dipped in salt, then rinse with water.

Cut Cutting Board Odors

To help cut odors off of your wooden cutting board, simply pour a generous amount of Salt directly on the board. Rub lightly with a damp cloth. Wash in warm, sudsy water.

Soothe Sore Throats

To alleviate the discomfort of a mild sore throat, gargle several times daily with a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon Salt and 1/2 cup warm water*. It’s like taking a liquid lozenge.

Treat your Tootsie’s

To prepare a salt water bath, pour 6 quarts (1-1/2 gallons) warm water in a large basin. Mix in 1/4 cup Salt and 1/4 cup baking soda. Soak feet for up to 15 minutes.

Boiling Water

Salt added to water makes the water boil at a higher temperature, thus reducing cooking time (it does not make the water boil faster).

Testing egg freshness

Place the egg in a cup of water to which two teaspoonfuls of salt has been added. A fresh egg sinks; if it floats, toss it.

      Just a heads up — modern salt refining has contributed to a poor salt standard which robs the body of vital trace nutrients. The common table salt can be used for all the uses listed above except for taking it in internally. It is adulterated with additives to make it free flowing, bleached and iodized. The demonization of salt in the diet is because of this kind of salt.

      Do the research. For salt taken internally, stock up on a good grade of sea salt which will also add essential trace minerals to the diet. It’s delicious!

        I would like to add to this great point by saying that you can also widen the variety of minerals and nutrients by adding to your stock of sea salt raw salts that come from different parts of the world such as a Himalayan pink salt mined from the Himalayan mountains contains a completely different set of minerals and although it it not superior to a sea salt is still beneficial to ones diet. And remember when it comes to health raw is always better.

      Never eat table salt, always get a good quality sea salt. Sea salt may cost more but it is well worth the extra cost.
