3 Flavoured Salts for You to Give as a Gift

Seasoning our food is what we have been doing since the beginning of time. For many people, herbs and spices are the essence of life.The flavours of herbs and spices can really compliment a dish. A delicious meal will often help with our sense of well being. Meal times should not be a pit stop but a time to nourish the whole body.

Salt is another way to help nourish the body. The body will use salt to help balance the fluids in the blood. In turn this will help to maintain a healthy blood pressure. Plus it is also essential for nerve and muscle function too. With all this in mind I decided to combine these ingredients to make flavoured salts. The results were amazing and they make the perfect gift too.

They are very versatile and as I mentioned earlier would make a brilliant present for a relative or friend. These salts are also Covid safe as you don’t need to put your hands in the ingredients.
