We do not know when men first began to use salt, but we do know that it has been used in many different ways throughout history. Historical evidence shows, for example, that people who lived over 3,000 years ago ate salted fish. Thousands of years ago in Egypt, salt was used to keep the dead from decaying.
Stealing salt was considered a crime during some periods of history. In the 18th century, for instance, if a person were caught stealing salt, he could be put in jail. History records that about ten thousand people were put in jail during that century for stealing salt! About 159 years before, in the year 1553, taking more than one’s share of salt was punished as a crime. The offender’s ear was cut off!
Salt was an important item on the table of a king. It was traditionally placed in front of the king when he sat down to eat, important guests at the king’s table were seated near the salt. Less important guests were given seats farther away from it.
