"Any other society in history" is a bit broad of a term to search for, but thus also easily found, when asking for example Pliny:
In ancient Roman religion, mola salsa ("salted flour") was a mixture of coarse-ground, toasted emmer flour and salt prepared by the Vestal Virgins and used in every official sacrifice.
