A bit of salt is a common seasoning used in many dishes. It can be represented by four different words: DASH, GRANULE, GRAIN, and PINCH. A DASH is a small amount of salt, usually referring to a quick sprinkle. Granules are the smallest form of salt, often used for baking. Grains are larger than granules and are used for cooking. Finally, a PINCH is a small amount of salt that is held between two fingers when added to a dish.
