No, you don’t need that much salt!
They say salt is life but does it bring that vibe to every meal? Generally, doctors advise excess sodium intake, i.e the less salt in your diet, the better.
Let’s look at these controversial meals that have stirred debates between chefs and cooks on whether they ought to be salted or not:
1. Plantain
If not trust issues, what then could it be? Plantain in whatever form–boiled, roasted or fried, is good on its own. If you continue adding salt to your plantain after this, you’re in the same WhatsApp group with those that add stew to their Jollof rice?
2. Egg
You boiled and fried eggs are better off without salt. However, if you must, remember to sprinkle sparingly.
3. Semovita
Well, is it even up for discussion when the manufacturers also advise us to add salt? Anyway, whether it’s for taste or to reduce koko, the Lord is watching you.
All that senrere for a mid-meal?
4. Indomie
Serial killer or salt killer? After all the seasoning Indomie puts in their packet, y’all still feel the need to add salt again. Huh?
5. Avocado Pears
Even the idea of salting fruit gan, are you normal?
6. Oats
So, all the creamy milk and sugar for making oatmeal is not enough. We should still add salt?
7. Yam
Is salt really the correct seasoning for yam or sugar? Think about it?
8. Rice
Korean, Japanese and Chinese people do not add salt to plain rice when cooking it and it tastes nice. But can Nigerians cook rice without adding it?
