Is salt a countable or uncountable noun?

Answer 1

Well, honey, salt can be both countable and uncountable depending on how you're talking about it. If you're referring to individual grains or packets, then it's countable. But if you're talking about it as a general substance or ingredient, then it's uncountable. So, it's like saying "pass me the salt" versus "I need to buy some salt."
