Curing is any of various food preservation and flavoring processes of foods such as meat, fish and vegetables, by the addition of salt, with the aim of drawing moisture out of the food by the process of osmosis.

Food preservation may also include processes that inhibit visual deterioration ...

For cannabis, this process reduces the content of sugars and chlorophyll. Other processes referred to as curing. Vanilla is cured for storage. The beans are killed, sweated (oxidation), slow-dried, and ...

It is one of the oldest methods of preserving food, [1] and two historically significant salt-cured foods are ...
Cured fish. Cured fish is fish which has been cured by subjecting it to fermentation, pickling, smoking, or some combination of these before it is eaten. These food preservation processes can include adding salt, nitrates, nitrite [1] or sugar, can involve smoking and flavoring the fish, and may include cooking it.
Smoking (cooking) Meat hanging inside a smokehouse in Switzerland. A Montreal smoked meat sandwich. Hot-smoked chum salmon. Smoking is the process of flavoring, browning, cooking, or preserving food by exposing it to smoke from burning or smoldering material, most often wood. Meat, fish, and lapsang souchong tea are often smoked.
Brining is typically a process in which meat is soaked in a salt water solution similar to marination before cooking. [2] Meat is soaked anywhere from 30 minutes to several days. The brine may be seasoned with spices and herbs. The amount of time needed to brine depends on the size of the meat: more time is needed for a large turkey compared to ...
