'''Salt''' is a [[Food and drink|seasoning]] and preservative in ''[[The Long Dark]]''.
==Usage==
Salt is used as an ingredient in numerous cooking recipes. Most recipes that uses Salt tend to need 0.01 kg of Salt, meaning one Bag of Salt can be used in 1000 recipes. However, they are far more useful for creating a [[Meat Curing Box]], which is a survivor-made [[Decorations|Decoration]].

8.00kg of Salt is required to construct a Meat Curing Box, which can be used to turn raw meat into jerky to make the meat last for much longer. Curing Meat will slowly deplete a Meat Curing Box's store of Salt over time, which must be replenished for continued use.

Salt is one of the few items that is not affected by [[Decay]].
==Acquisition==
Smaller jars of [[Salt]] (0.25kg) can be found as loot usually in kitchens or food-related areas, while large bags of salt (10.00kg) can be usually acquired from [[Trader|The Trader]] as they rarely can be found in the world.

[[Salt Deposit|Salt Deposits]] can be found on coastal rock formations (e.g. outdoors on [[Jackrabbit Island]], or inside [[Abandoned Mine No. 3]]) and harvested by hand. Each Salt Deposit yields multiple units (0.25kg) units of salt, with multiple deposits appearing in groups.
