**Note: Salt is an ingredient that can take vegetables from good to great. Salt has been given a bad rap, and the use of it is frequently misunderstood.Processed foods include a LOT of salt (often hidden) and that is where the health problem comes in. If you cook at home, and use very little processed food, using salt will enhance your food without the health issues.
