Table salt, primarily composed of sodium chloride (NaCl), is a common seasoning and preservative used in cooking and food preparation. It enhances flavor, acts as a preservative by inhibiting microbial growth, and is essential for various bodily functions, including fluid balance and nerve transmission. In addition to its culinary uses, table salt often contains additives like anti-caking agents to prevent clumping. However, excessive consumption can lead to health issues such as hypertension.
