Added 1/25/11: All salt is inorganic, which means it is not a compound formed by living things. Organic compounds contain carbon in them (although there are also inorganic carbon compounds of course). So all salt is inorganic. That does not mean your body does not use salt. In fact, salt is critical to brain function, the cell function known as osmosis, blood presure, etc. It is so important that our tongues developed taste buds specifically to recognize salt. To clarify the answer given above, I think that person is talking about sea salt, which supposedly has a slightly different taste than mined salt. This is due to sea salt containing different types of salt and salt ions (potassium, magnesium, etc), where mined salt is mostly pure sodium chloride, NaCL (or table salt). Almost the salt in the U.S. is mined, mostly from a huge deposit of salt under the Great Lakes. Sea salt is made from the drying of sea water as the name implies, which many countries have to do because they don't have large enough deposits to mine. Sea salt is used a lot in gourmet cooking and that is the salt used in New Orleans.

Answer 2

Inorganic salts are compounds that do not contain carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds, such as sodium chloride (table salt) or copper sulfate. They are formed from ionic bonding between a metal and a nonmetal element, and often dissociate into ions when dissolved in water. Inorganic salts have various applications, including as electrolytes in batteries and as additives in food and agriculture.

Answer 3

For example salts with an inorganic anion: nitrates, chlorides, sulfates, phosphates, iodides, uranates, fluorides etc.
