The minerals found in food can be categorized into two groups; macrominerals, and trace minerals. Macrominerals are usually found in large quantities in food, and are required in larger quantities for the body. Trace minerals are found in small amounts in food, and are needed in smaller amounts in the diet.

Macrominerals: Sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur.

Trace minerals: Iron, zinc, iodide, selenium, copper, fluoride, chromium, molybdenum, manganese.
