I've used it to make salami bresaola and ham . My understanding is that it's for preserving the meat. I would add it if you are preserving the sausages. **Q: It says salt but doesn't say salt in the instructions. Do I need to add 9.8% salt to the water and saltpetre?** A: If your recipie needs salt you need to add it. This is only salpetre. For a rub you might use a couple of teaspoons of this to 50g of salt.
