Etymology
The term 'unsalted' is derived from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not,' combined with 'salted,' which comes from the old English 'saltian,' meaning 'to salt.' Salt has been used as a preservative and flavor enhancer for centuries, and the distinction of unsalted versus salted products became particularly relevant with the rise of dietary considerations concerning sodium intake. As health consciousness grew, particularly in the 20th century, the preference for unsalted variants increased. The use of unsalted ingredients also became a trend in culinary practices, allowing chefs and home cooks to have more control over the flavor profiles of their dishes.
