Table Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Table salt is the most common type of salt and it is usually what you\u2019ll find in many households.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many table salts have the word \u201ciodized\u201d in its label. Iodine is a trace element vital to human health and is usually added to table salt thus creating the iodized salt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The role of iodine in our body is to regulate the body\u2019s metabolism and are essential for our growth and development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of iodine can lead to iodine deficiency, a condition that can result in developmental issues and other health problems mainly in pregnant women and children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kosher_Salt\"><\/span>2. Kosher Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kosher salt is characterized by its larger crystal size than table salt, making it easier to pinch and sprinkle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, kosher salt is extracted from underground salt reserves and then refined to eliminate any impurities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Rock_Salt\"><\/span>3. Rock Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rock salt is salt which has large and chunky crystals that is most commonly used to de-icing roads and or preservation of meats and cheeses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This salt is usually aren\u2019t meant for human consumption because it\u2019s bigger crystal size making it harder to dissolve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Flakey_Salt\"><\/span>4. Flakey Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Flakey salt is a thin, flat, irregular and delicate crystal. With a beautiful look and delicate crunch, flakey salt is usually used as a finishing touch in cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Sea_Salt\"><\/span>5. Sea Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As its name implies, sea salt is harvested from evaporated seawater that comes in different textures and colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process can result in a salt that retains some minerals and impurities, giving it a unique flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Fleur_de_Sel\"><\/span>6. Fleur de Sel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hailing from the coast of Brittany in France, Fleur the Sel is also usually used as a finishing salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Himalayan_Pink_Salt\"><\/span>7. Himalayan Pink Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the Himalayan pink salt indeed has a pink color. But, no, the Himalayan pink salt doesn&#8217;t come from the Himalayas as its name implies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, the himalayan pink salt is mined from the mountains mostly in Pakistan. The striking pink color that this type of salt has is due to its mineral content, particularly iron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Pickling_Salt\"><\/span>8. Pickling Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pickling salt lives up to its name! Unlike table salt, it doesn&#8217;t have any extras like iodine or anti-clumping stuff.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is important for pickling and canning, especially when fermenting, because those additives can mess with the good bacteria we want to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Also Read: &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimulti.id\/SNI\/benefits-of-coffee\/\">5 Benefits of Coffee&#8221;<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Black_Salt\"><\/span>9. Black Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by the name! Black salt, also called kala namak, is a volcanic rock salt from South Asia (think India, Pakistan, Nepal).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s more of a pinkish-gray than black, especially when ground fine.&nbsp; But what it lacks in color, it makes up for in flavor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black salt has a strong, eggy smell and taste, making it a special ingredient in Indian and Southeast Asian dishes. It also adds a savory punch (think umami!), but a little goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Smoked_Salt\"><\/span>10. Smoked Salt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Craving smoky goodness? This salt gets its flavor by chilling out in wood smoke for weeks (yes, weeks!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s perfect for giving grilled meats, roasted veggies, and even stews a smoky kick. Think ribs, pork, turkey &#8211; they&#8217;d all be best friends with this hickory smoked salt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here you are, 10 types of salt that you need to know!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, salt is a personal choice! Different types have different strengths, so taste as you go and adjust to your liking.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trying new salts is like exploring a flavor playground, so have fun and add a new one to your spice rack!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>10 Types of Salt &#8211; Salt is an essential component of cooking.
