Food saltpeter - use for home preparations

What is food nitrate (sodium nitrate) in home preparations?

Food saltpeter is a substance (preservative) that is used in the food industry, as well as in home preparation for the winter to preserve all the properties and color of the product. It acts as a powerful oxidizing agent. This preservative is used in the following preparations:

1) red caviar;

2) for many types of smoking;

3) meat products, adding color and taste;

4) fish and cheese products.

Thanks to food nitrate, you can get rid of pathogenic bacteria in products or prevent their growth. You need to know and remember that you cannot exceed the permissible amount of this preservative, since if you “overdo it,” it can become poisonous!
