Salt is a basic kitchen seasoning that never spoils. It weighs 0.2 and holds many uses. It is one of the most useful items in any kitchen.

Salt works as a spice in a long list of evolved recipes. It is also a key ingredient for baking bread, baguettes, biscuits, pie dough and pizza. Preserving vegetables in jars needs it too.

Salt is a common find in home kitchens and restaurant kitchens. Jerky factories always hold it. The Chef is the best occupation for ingredients. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.

Eating

Eating Salt on its own is a bad idea. It makes the character thirsty and raises unhappiness by 20. It has no calories or nutrients.

Salt is much more useful in a dish. Added to a meal as a spice, it makes the food more pleasant to eat. Used as a cooking ingredient, its negative effects are removed.

The table shows the game figures for one serving. Negative hunger and thirst fill the character up, and negative unhappiness and boredom cheer them up.

Cooking

Salt counts as a spice in evolved recipes. It adds 1 to Pizza, Soup, Stew, Pie, Stir Fry, Burger, Hot Dog, Salad, Rice, Pasta, Sandwich, Taco and Burrito. As a spice, it never fills an ingredient slot.

Salt is also an input in many crafting recipes. Prepare Bread Dough, Prepare Baguette, Prepare Biscuits and Prepare Pie Dough each take 2 Salt. Prepare Pizza and Make Guacamole each take 1. Seasoning Salt can stand in for Salt in every one of these except pizza.

The Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe also needs Salt. It turns fresh vegetables into jars that keep far longer. That makes salt a key item for storing a harvest through winter.

These dishes take the Salt as an ingredient, with the hunger it restores in each.
