Desserts are mainly associated with the introduction of sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and other familiar additives..
But sometimes you can hear that salt should definitely be added to the composition..
Many people find this advice strange, since dessert should be sweet.
However, our magazine’s culinary expert, chef Yulia Arkhipova, is confident that this recommendation is useful.
Why add salt when preparing desserts
Improving taste
Many have heard that sugar acts as a natural flavor enhancer. At the same time, do not forget that salt has exactly the same properties.
Therefore, adding a pinch of salt when preparing sweet desserts helps them become brighter and more interesting. As a result, the taste of the dessert becomes more ‘understandable’.
Balance
It is also important to remember that salt has another important role in a sweet dessert: it is ‘responsible’ for the balance of taste. Therefore, you should not be afraid that a small amount of salt can spoil the dessert or change its taste beyond recognition: this is impossible.
But you also do not need to add a lot of salt, since in this case the dish will definitely be spoiled.
