What is Curing: A Method of Food Preservation about?

Curing is a food preservation method that involves adding salt to meat, fish, and vegetables to draw out moisture and inhibit microbial growth, a practice dating back to ancient times. While modern refrigeration has supplemented curing, it remains culturally significant and essential for food security in less-developed countries. Curing processes often involve nitrates and nitrites, which enhance flavor and color but raise health concerns due to their association with cancer risks.
