What it is

Water is a clear, odorless, tasteless liquid essential for life. Kosher salt is a type of coarse salt, typically made from evaporated salt, that meets Jewish dietary laws. It is often used in food preparation.

Why it's used

This combination is frequently used in processed meats, especially poultry, as a brine to add moisture and flavor. The salt helps to preserve the meat and enhance its taste.

Health notes

Water is essential for health. Sodium chloride (salt) is a necessary nutrient, but high intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA considers salt to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA have evaluated salt, but did not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified).
