Edible Salts
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is edible salt?
Edible salt is food-grade salt used for cooking and seasoning. It is purified, safe to eat, and free from harmful impurities.
Q2: Which edible salt is best for daily use?
Iodized table salt is ideal for everyday cooking because it dissolves quickly and supports healthy iodine levels.
Q3: Is Himalayan pink salt edible?
Yes. Himalayan pink salt is 100% edible and used just like regular salt. It contains trace minerals and a natural pink color.
Q4: What is the difference between sea salt and table salt?
Sea salt is less processed and has larger crystals, while table salt is fine-grained and usually iodized. Both are sodium chloride and work similarly in recipes.
Q5: How much edible salt should I use per day?
