savor
pass the salt
It is the simplest of substances. It has provoked wars, established trade routes, amassed fortunes
and created empires. A staple of kitchens and cooking, this unassuming mineral has profoundly
influenced our lives. Salt. The seemingly obscure substance has been pivotal in defining much of history,
and we rarely stop to think about its complexity when we say, “pass the salt.” BY COLLEEN THOMPSON
