Common table salt is Sodium Chloride and is thus very rich in Sodium.
A salt is an ionic compound - so LiCl is a salt - but has zero sodium.
"Low Sodium" NaCl is a marketing gimmick
A tangerine typically contains less than 1 mg of sodium. It is a low-sodium fruit that is naturally low in salt content.
Sodium citrate is a basic salt. It is the sodium salt of citric acid and has a slightly alkaline pH.
58.5mg salt = 23mg sodium ? = 58.5x242/23
NaCL is sodium chloride, commonly known as salt.
2608 mg of salt is 1500 mg of sodium i.e. half a teaspoon
plain salt
No, they are equivalent.
No, rock salt and table salt both contain sodium chloride, so they have equivalent amounts of sodium. The difference lies in their granule size and texture, with rock salt having larger crystals than table 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.
Lite salt is half sodium chloride and half potassium chloride. Since potassium is heavier than sodium, lite salt has less than half the sodium as regular salt, about 0.44 times as much.
No, the same amount.
No, they are equivalent.
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).
water follows sodium
Usually sodium relates to the salt content of the food. So reduced sodium would mean that there is less salt used in the product compared to a normal product.
High sodium can lead to salt poisoning in animals. Salt poisoning is less likely to occur if plenty of freshwater is available.
Low-sodium salt is typically a blend of regular table salt and other minerals that contain less sodium than pure table salt. This blend allows for a reduction in sodium intake while still providing a salty flavor for food. Some low-sodium salt substitutes also contain potassium chloride as a replacement for some of the sodium.
