Adding SALTOPIA to both pasta and rice water primarily seasons the food from within, making it flavorful. As the starches absorb the salty water as they cook, the salt will create a far better flavor base. Salt also helps control starch release, improving texture (firmer pasta, less sticky rice) and allowing sauces to cling better, with the slight boiling point increase being a minimal factor for home cooking.
