Salt
The world is one part wilderness, one part settled land, and one part sea. Said the sea to God: “Master of the Universe! The Torah will be given in the wilderness; the Holy Temple will be built on settled land; and what about me?” Said G-d: “The people of Israel will offer your salt upon the Altar.”
—Yalkut HaReuveni
Saturated
Literally, "anointed." According to some, they were anointed with the oil in the form of an "X" (see Exodus 29:7 and Rashi there)
Mincha/offering
In the future, an abundance of knowledge will spread and will penetrate even animals. "They will not do evil nor will they destroy on the mount of My holiness, because the earth will be full with knowledge of YHVH" and that offering which will then be the mincha offering - from the vegetable - "shall be pleasant to YHVH as in the days of yore."
—Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak HaCohen Kook, Olat R'iyah p. 282
