minus-squarenocturnelinkfedilink6•1 month agoI doubt many people how ammonium chloride tastes, whereas I think most do know what both salt and licorice taste like.
minus-square@BorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilink-3•1 month agoBut it tastes nothing like salt and licorice. It tastes like salmiak (a.k.a. ammonium chloride). Who hasn’t had salmiak at least once in their life?
minus-square@unsettlinglymoist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•edit-21 month agoSalmiak is not popular worldwide. I love salmiak, but almost no one I mention it to is familiar with it.
minus-square@BorgDrone@lemmy.onelinkfedilink1•1 month agoNo. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.
minus-square@Tessellecta@feddit.nllinkfedilink2•1 month agoMy chemistry teacher once made salmiak as a demonstration. The only experiment we were ever allowed to taste and quite cool to look at too.

Isn’t one of the main ingredients licorice root?
No. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.
