Sprinkling the elements that make up salt—sodium and chlorine—on food would be unappetizing and potentially harmful. In their elemental forms, sodium is highly reactive and chlorine is a toxic gas, which makes them unsuitable for direct consumption. Additionally, table salt is a compound that has been processed to ensure safety and palatability, whereas the individual elements lack the flavor-enhancing properties that salt provides. Therefore, using salt in its compound form is both safe and effective for seasoning food.
