Etymology

The word 'salted' comes from the Old English 'sealt', meaning salt. Salt has been used since ancient times not only as a flavor enhancer but also as a crucial preservative for various foods. The practice of salting foods dates back thousands of years, with early Mesopotamians initiating the process to extend the shelf life of their catch and crops. In medieval Europe, salted meats were a staple for long voyages and during periods when fresh produce was scarce. This culinary technique has influenced many cultures, leading to the diverse savory flavors we enjoy today. Thus, 'salted' has evolved into a common descriptor for foods that have been transformed through the addition of salt.
