Do you use salt in your cooking?

Lindery @Lindery (853) • Latvia 18 Feb 09

Many people consider a salt to be unhealthy addition in food. Do you think the same? I personally use only a sea salt which comes in rough grains. I don't like a fine salt because it tastes like soda, not natural.

sea salt

spices
