| Sep 30, 2022 at 14:11 | comment | added | JimmyJames | Salt is salt? I don't understand why people insist on something so clearly easily shown to be untrue. Table salt is mostly NaCl perhaps with added iodine. Kosher salt is purified and is therefore nearly pure NaCl. Sea salt varies but can be more than 10% other types of salt than NaCl giving it a 'fuller' flavor. Naturally mined salt (e.g. Himalayan) is essentially sea salt from prehistoric seas. | |
