"Ice cream salt" is not a precisely defined term. You could use table salt for the purpose, or you could use road salt, which is not as highly refined and contains impurities. Road salt is not marketed for human consumption.
Table salt has potassium iodide added to it as a supplement to prevent goiter, a disease of the thyroid gland caused by a deficiency of iodine in the diet.
As ice cream salt is used only to help freeze the ice cream and is not an ingredient of the ice cream, it will not be consumed. Adding potassium iodide to it would accomplish nothing but would cost money so its not done.
Having said that, practically all sodium chloride supplies on earth do naturally contain small amounts of all the halogens in their sodium salt forms. So almost all salt will have at least a few parts per million of sodium iodide, as well as sodium fluoride and sodium bromide.
Look at the Nutrition Facts label, it will tell you.
The blueberry ice cream that is currently in my freezer lists a tiny amount of sodium per serving (40 mg), but this will vary from ice cream to ice cream depending on the recipe for the ice cream base and the specific mixins added.
its there so the ice cream freeze's quickly without using this process ice cream would not have been created
Unless specifically labeled, ice cream salt is not meant to be eaten by itself.
yes.
Salt melts ice so salt will melt ice cream.
yes most ice cream contains salt
no,because if you put a salt in ice cream the ice cream will be tasted not nice
You can't really separate salt and ice cream and still end up with ice cream and salt. However, you can recover just the salt.
I believe that Morton Ice Cream Salt is just standard rock salt, used in making homemade ice cream.
because salt makes the ice colder allowing the ice cream to freeze faster!
Salt on the ice slows the melting process and is an ingredient in ice cream.
salt makes the substance cold and for ice cream that is crucial
You don't use rock salt in ice cream, unless you want salty ice cream. You use rock salt (though table salt or sea salt would work just about as well) in the freezer to get it colder than you could with a mixture of ice and water.
You don't. To make ice cream you want to make it with ice cream salt.
You need to have the salt in the ice around the chamber to ensure that the ice will stay as frozen as possible when freezing the ice cream. ;)
Ansems favorite ice cream is sea salt ice cream.
