minus-squarenocturne@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2か月前I doubt many people how ammonium chloride tastes, whereas I think most do know what both salt and licorice taste like.
minus-squareBorgDronelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2か月前But 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-squareunsettlinglymoist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·edit-22か月前Salmiak is not popular worldwide. I love salmiak, but almost no one I mention it to is familiar with it.
minus-squarenocturne@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2か月前Isn’t one of the main ingredients licorice root?
minus-squareBorgDronelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2か月前No. It is added to certain types of licorice candy to add flavor but salmiak is it’s own thing.
minus-squareTessellecta@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2か月前My chemistry teacher once made salmiak as a demonstration. The only experiment we were ever allowed to taste and quite cool to look at too.
