sale means salt in Italian

How do you say salt in Italian?

Sale!

There are two types of sale, salt, used in Italian cooking.  Sale fino is fine table salt.  Sale grosso is coarse sea salt.

Aggiungere un pizzico di sale.
Add a pinch of salt.

Extra credit, make pronunciation fun:

Sale starts out sounding like "sall" to rhyme with "mall""all""tall"

The first half of the word gets the emphasis and sounds like "SALL"

The second half of the word sounds like the "ay" of "hay"

SALL-ay
