China's diet is diversified, with eight representative cuisines, namely Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Guangdong cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Anhui cuisine. Most of these cuisines are salty and spicy. Salt is the main seasoning of these dishes. In order to ensure the taste of the dish, the amount of salt will definitely be relatively large.
Many people in China have a strong taste. Take Shandong people for example. If a dish is not salty, it must taste bad. I have a bad habit now and like to eat pickles. My partner has bad taste. She usually uses less salt for cooking, so I feel that the food is tasteless, and pickles have become an essential condiment for every meal. I feel that my daily salt intake will definitely be higher.
There are many people around me who follow the principle of "no spicy food, no salty food, no delicious food", and some of them are even heavier than my taste. Every time I go out for a party, there are definitely no light dishes in the seven bowls and eight large plates on the dining table. They are all heavy-flavored dishes such as fried chicken with Chili peppers, boiled fish and hairy blood curd. Sprinkle salt on the plate even if you order fried peanuts.
China's eating habits are quite different from those of other countries. There must be vegetables and soup for three meals a day. Many people have heavy tastes, so the daily salt intake will definitely be great. Unlike other countries, they often eat a loaf of bread and drink a glass of milk, and even other diets certainly don't add too much salt.
