plain salt
Kosher salt is the same as table salt, just larger granules. Sea salt has less sodium than table salt as the mineral makeup is different.
Sea salt is sodium chloride - NaCl.
No. Salt IS sodium chloride. Sea salt is just more natural than your everyday table salt. There are those who would have us believe that Gourmet Salt (Sea Salt) contains less sodium than table salt because it is coarser. The truth of the matter is that Salt is Salt, whether it is Sea salt or table salt. All salt came from the Sea originally. Salt that is used commonly for table salt is mined. That salt was formed from Oceans that went dry and left deposits in the earth. A molecule of salt contains one part sodium and one part chlorine. (Chemically, NaCL). No matter how much you want to believe it, salt is salt and it cannot contain LESS sodium. If the chemical equation was Na2Cl rather than NaCl, I suppose it is possible to chemically take one molecule of sodium away, leaving NaCl. But that is not the case. The salt molecule is NaCl. Sodium has a valence (free electron) of +1 and Chlorine has a valence of -1. When the two elements combine they form NaCl (salt). So salt cannot possibly contain LESS sodium. That being said, sea salt is not JUST salt, it has some trace minerals and elements depending on its water source, so by weight, it has slightly less sodium than table salt (less than a tenth of a percent less).
sea salt which is based on the metal sodium.
Sea salt is generally made of sodium chloride which contains sodium and chlorine.
No it is not. Salt is bad for your blood pressure because of the sodium it contains. Sea salt contains the same amount of sodium as normal table salt. If you have high blood pressure it will be better for you in the long run to get used to using less salt and not add salt to your food atall.
Sea salt is sodium chloride - NaCl.
Yes sea salt such as Cayman Sea Salt comes from solar evaporation of Caribbean sea water with no additives whereas table salt has additives to includie anti-caking agents the long term effects of which have not been studied.
Sodium chloride is the sodium salt of hydrogen chloride.
Sodium Chloride is a solid as table salt or sea salt is Sodium Chloride.solid
Sodium chloride is extracted from salt mines or sea waters.
In seawater, sodium chloride (table salt) is the most abundant salt present, accounting for approximately 85% of the total dissolved salts. Calcium salts are less abundant compared to sodium chloride in seawater.
