While salted meat and ship's biscuit (later called hardtack) could survive the long voyages, they were not immune from spoilage. In addition, the heavily salted protein created health issues even when at its best. Long before the causes of scurvy had been officially identified, sailors knew that more frequent stops for fresh produce, and shorter-term preserved foods, was better for their health.
