About Table salt

Table salt, a staple seasoning in kitchens worldwide, is mainly composed of sodium chloride (NaCl). Mined from salt deposits or evaporated from seawater, it serves as a key ingredient in countless cuisines, enhancing flavor and preserving food. While essential for bodily functions like maintaining fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle function, excessive consumption of salt can contribute to high blood pressure and increase the risk of heart disease. Many table salt varieties are fortified with iodine, an important nutrient that supports thyroid health, making it a valuable source of this mineral. Often refined to remove impurities, some versions may include anti-caking agents for smooth pouring. Moderation is crucial in its use; balance your intake with fresh, nutrient-rich foods to support overall wellness.
