Does salting your cooking change the effects/regen hearts of a recipe?

Does adding rock salt to a recipe add any hearts or change the effect comparing it to the same recipe but without the rock salt?

2 Answers

Rock Salt increases the duration of whatever effects your meal has. If you are just using food to restore hearts, Rock Salt has no effect.

Restores 2 Hearts

Salt-Grilled Fish

• Hyrule Bass
• Rock Salt

Restores 2 hearts

On the other hand, if you have a duration-based effect, it will increase the duration.

Yes! Rock salt amplifies whatever effect you're aiming for, whether it be healing, heat resistance, or something else.
