Hi, not sure where to post this but my question is, if the restaurant makes everything from scratch does that mean there is no preservatives in it?
I think even vegan and organic restaurants are going to have salt in their food. Since a certain amount of salt is good for us (as you well know) and necessary for cellular function, and like you said, would lack flavor otherwise, I don't see the problem with that.Pretty sure there will be salt in the pizza sauce and dough, as well as other dishes. They would lack flavor otherwise and no commercial establishment will survive if their food lacks flavor.
Honestly, given that you haven’t heard back from them, I doubt you will. I can't imagine very many restaurants would answer.
If you are that worried about what you are eating, you should probably be shopping at organic markets and cooking your own food, not eating out, or only eating out at vegan/organic restaurants.
I was actually referring to the chemical preservative issue more than natural salt.I think even vegan and organic restaurants are going to have salt in their food.

One of my guys forgot to put salt in the chocolate cake recipe on one particular day, it was basically inedible.The very first lesson on the first day of culinary school was the importance of using salt appropriately in cooking. It makes food taste good. So I hope they add salt.

I steer clear of any dessert recipe that doesn't include a bit of salt.One of my guys forgot to put salt in the chocolate cake recipe on one particular day, it was basically inedible.
