The mineral commonly used as a food seasoning, water softener, and de-icer is halite, which is essentially rock salt. Halite is primarily composed of sodium chloride (NaCl) and is widely used in cooking and food preservation. In addition to culinary uses, it is effective in softening water by removing hard minerals and is also employed to melt ice on roads and sidewalks during winter.
