Food question

[Hypersmurf]

Thanks guys, thats cool.

No one can find another food that doesn't spoil then? :\

I felt there was another one out there, but can't place it.

If you Google '"natural food that doesn't spoil'", honey is referenced as 'the only...'.

Salt spoils?

Well, gradually, yes.

Honey is the only food that, naturally, will never spoil.

Salt spoils?

Is salt 'food' ?

 

[WayneLigon]

I did not know that. How amazing.

Salt is a mineral. It's not technically food.

If you eat it and you need it, it's good enough to be a food in my book.

That's what I'm thinking.

Is honey a 'food'?

They both fall in the 'condiment' category for me.

It surprises me that salt spoils, though. It is, after all, a preservative.

I don't believe that salt actually "spoils" per say, more like it has the ability to absorb things that we shouldn't eat. Spoiling would be a form of decomposition and rocks (which is what salt is) don't decompose, they erode or wear.

I don't think salt 'spoils' per se; it just becomes less adept as a preservative or condiment ... but then that's like saying that escalators don't break; they just become stairs.
