Curing is a food preservation method that involves treating food, primarily meat and fish, with salt, Sugar, nitrates, nitrites, or a combination of these, to inhibit the growth of bacteria, enhance flavour, and prolong shelf life. This technique has been used for centuries to preserve food before the advent of refrigeration and remains popular today for its unique impact on taste and texture.
