Nitrite Salt - The Key to Safe and Delicious Cured Meats
If you're making sausages, bacon, or ham, nitrite salt is your best friend. This is the salt professional butchers use to guarantee that the food is 100% safe to eat. Nitrite salt contains a precise amount of sodium nitrite (0.6%), which effectively stops unwanted bacteria. At the same time, it ensures the meat retains its tempting reddish-pink color and develops the great cured flavor we love. With nitrite salt, you can be confident in the result.

FAQ
Is it difficult to use?
No, it's very easy. In most recipes, you simply replace the regular salt with nitrite salt. The mixture is pre-dosed from the factory (0.6%), so you don't need to measure out nitrite yourself.
Is nitrite salt safe?
Yes, this is an approved and safe food ingredient. The concentration is adapted to ensure food safety without exceeding limits. It makes your food safer than if you had used regular salt.
Why does bacon turn grey without it?
When meat is heated or cured with regular salt, it loses its red color (think of a grey pork chop). Nitrite salt chemically binds the color, so the bacon stays pink and appetizing even after frying.
