The process of removing salt from food or materials by soaking, rinsing, or other methods.
Present participle of 'desalt,' formed with '-ing,' used as both a verb form and gerund (noun form).
Medieval recipes often included detailed desalting instructions because the timing was critical—soak too long and the meat lost all flavor, too short and it remained unpleasantly salty.
