Salmiakin nimi on peräisin muinaisilta kreikkalaisilta, jotka löysivät ammoniumkloridia Ammonin temppelin läheltä ja antoivat sille nimeksi sal ammoniacus, "Ammonin suola". [2] Tästä on johdettu sana salmiakki latinan ja hollannin kautta muun muassa suomen kieleen. Keväällä 2012 Euroopan unioni yritti kieltää salmiakin sen sisältämän suuren ammoniumkloridin määrän vuoksi; esityksessä ammoniumkloridin määrä olisi rajattu kolmeen grammaan kilossa, salmiakissa määrä on 70g/kg. Esitys peruttiin lokakuussa 2012. [9] Vaikutukset terveyteen [ muokkaa | muokkaa wikitekstiä ] The strength of the confectionery depends on the amount of food grade ammonium chloride (salmiak salt) used, which varies by country and what's considered a safe amount. In Sweden, for example, the most popular types of salty liquorice contain an average of 7% of ammonium chloride. In 2012, there was a European Union proposal to limit the amount to 0.3%, which was met with wide opposition. [6] Although the European Union now regulates the use of ammonium chloride to 0.3% in most foodstuffs, there is no specific restriction for it in liquorice or ice cream. [7] At a level of up to 7.99% ammonium chloride, salmiak pastilles are considered a "traditionally-applied medicine to assist expectoration in the airways". Aiemmin elintarvikelainsäädännön mukaan salmiakin ammoniumkloridipitoisuus ei saanut ylittää seitsemää prosenttia. Sittemmin tämä rajoitus on kumottu, ja markkinoille onkin tullut suurempia määriä ammoniumkloridia sisältäviä salmiakkilajeja. Runsas ja säännöllinen salmiakkimakeisten ja -valmisteiden nauttiminen voi kohottaa verenpainetta. Elintarviketurvallisuusviraston ylitarkastaja Taina Raution mukaan tämä vaikutus ei kuitenkaan johdu ammoniumkloridista vaan lakritsiuutteesta, jota käytetään usein salmiakin maustamisessa.

Best Finnish Salmiakki Recipe • Our Big Escape

Sal ammoniac ( ammonium chloride) has a history of being used as a cough medicine, as it works as an expectorant. [3] Finnish author Jukka Annala speculates that salty liquorice has its origins in pharmacy stores that manufactured their own cough medicine. [4] Where and when ammonium chloride and liquorice were first combined to produce salty liquorice is unclear, [5] but by the 1930s it was produced in Finland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands as a pastille. [4] Types [ edit ] A Helsinki kiosk is devoted entirely to salmiakki, selling 91 varieties of the salty liquorice candy that holds a special place in Finnish hearts. Warning: Salmiakki can be addictive. Salty liquorice, salmiak liquorice or salmiac liquorice, is a variety of liquorice flavoured with the ingredient "salmiak salt" ( sal ammoniac; ammonium chloride), and is a common confection found in the Nordic countries, Benelux, and northern Germany. [1] Salmiak salt gives salty liquorice an astringent, salty taste, [2] akin to that of tannins—a characteristic of red wines, which adds bitterness and astringency to the flavour. Consuming salmiak liquorice can stimulate either a savoury or non-savoury palate and response. [1] Anise oil can also be an additional main ingredient in salty liquorice. Extra-salty liquorice is additionally coated with salmiak salt or salmiak powder, or sometimes table salt.Salmiakki used to be known mostly as a type of sweet sold in soft or hard drops and lozenges, or as a powder. Lately the magic ingredient has found its way into other sorts of goodies, as a tasty addition to chocolate, ice cream and even barbecue sauce. However, the popularity of traditional salmiakki sweets has not decreased – on the contrary. Helsinki’s Salmiakkikioski, a kiosk specialising in the stuff, forms a good example of salmiakki’s perpetual popularity. Apteekin salmiakki menestyy tuonnista huolimatta 4.2.2010.Ylen alueuutiset.

Photo: Emilia Kangasluoma The canonical shape for salmiakki candies is a four-cornered lozenge. This shape is so popular that in Finnish, the word "salmiakki" can sometimes refer to the lozenge shape, instead of the candy or the salt it is produced with. This is particularly common in computer science when discussing the Unified Modeling Language. Round salmiakki candies are also very common, either disc-shaped or complete spheres.

Korhonen adds that many Finns serve salmiakki to their unsuspecting foreign friends just to see what will happen. Varo liikaa lakua!

Learning the essence of salty liquorice ie. salmiakki

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. http://igs.kirjastot.fi/fi-FI/iGS/kysymykset/kysymys.aspx?ID=cf45f7e8-e3fe-4dfa-87c5-6c58da153bee#discussion ( Arkistoitu – Internet Archive)

Neuvonen prefers his salmiakki straight, but knows various ways salmiakki can be mixed. “People put salmiakki powder in espresso coffee, yoghurt and all sorts of pastries – and we’ve even heard of someone making salmiakki-strawberry jam.” However you use it, and whether you love it or hate it, salmiakki offers an unforgettable taste. Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos THL antoi 22. tammikuuta 2016 suosituksen, että odottavien äitien ei olisi syytä syödä salmiakkia ja lakritsia. Syynä ovat uudet tiedot, joiden mukaan salmiakin ja lakritsin sisältävä lakritsiuute saattaa olla haitallista sikiölle. Tutkimuksissa on havaittu mahdollinen yhteys raskaudenaikaisen runsaan lakritsinsyönnin ja lasten tarkkaavaisuushäiriöiden kanssa.
