Vegetable salt is just ordinary salt ground up with herbs or spices or vegetables or all three.

It's sometimes used by people on low-salt diets who are seeking ways to enhance the flavours of their food without using as much salt as they'd normally use. This is fine, but it's probably better and tastier just to use less salt and keep a good range of herbs and spices in your kitchen. Store them in glass containers, in a cool, dark place.

It costs more than ordinary salt and despite various nutritional or culinary claims you run the risk of altering the flavours of your food in ways you might not intend if you season with vegetable salt.

Unless you find one (stores should always let you have a smell, or taste, before you buy) that is a combination you truly like, you're better off to season foods according to your own tastes.

A risk you run by using pre-mixed flavourings to any great extent is that things you cook start to taste the same all the time, which is not really the aim of good home cooking.
