Flavor-infused salts trending: Bacon and Pinot Noir lead the way
The TikTok format is perfect for demonstrating how to make simple dish additions or multi-ingredient desserts. The best recipes are those made in one bowl—just toss the ingredients into a blender and mix on high speed. In one video, you'll see how to prepare bacon-flavored salt using a similar method.
Besides bacon-flavored salt, there are many other creative ideas for flavor-infused salts that can enhance the taste of dishes. For example, in the United States, Pinot Noir wine salt is gaining popularity. The infusion process allows the flavor and aroma of the wine to permeate the salt crystals, creating a unique product. This alcohol-free additive pairs perfectly with steaks, braised beef, roasted beets, or seafood.

In the TikTok video, @coocharz confidently states that bacon salt can be used practically with anything. It goes best with scrambled eggs and steaks, but you can even sprinkle it on potatoes or fries. This versatile addition can also effectively replace toppings for dumplings or Silesian noodles.
