Salt Clumping? Try These Simple Fixes

Mix in some uncooked rice grains with your salt. The rice absorbs moisture and keeps the salt dry—just a teaspoon in your shaker is enough. Long grain rice works best since it won’t fall out when you pour. If you’re out of rice, toss in a few whole coffee beans or dried kidney beans. Both soak up moisture, but kidney beans won’t add any aroma to your salt. Always store your salt in an airtight glass container and keep it in a cool, dry spot away from heat sources. This keeps it fresh and clump-free. These tricks really help if you live somewhere humid! #kitchentips #saltstorage #lifehacks #Food #Cooking
