Is salt a flavouring or is it a additive?
Salt is a type of seasoning.
It shouldn't be an additive. One might call it an additive because it's used so much, but I wouldn't call it that. Salty is one of the five main flavors, therefore it is a flavoring. Flavors: Salty Sweet Sour Bitter Umami (Hearty)
It is both. When added for flavor, it is (of course) a flavoring. When added to preserve food, it is an additive.
