1, sea salt is more nutritious. Because the production of sea salt itself needs more time and manpower to retain more trace elements, the nutritional value of sea salt is much higher than that of edible salt, and the salt is mainly extracted from sodium chloride for seasoning, so most minerals are directly removed by mechanical high-temperature purification, with higher production efficiency and lower cost, but the same nutritional value is also lower, so it is not recommended to eat it frequently.
2. Edible salt is not suitable for regular consumption. Because edible salt is generally ground into very small particles, the contact area with air is too large and it is easy to get wet. Therefore, in order to avoid salt caking, merchants usually add a certain amount of anti-caking agents, which are harmful to the body, and long-term consumption is not conducive to the daily flow of internal organs and blood vessels.
The difference between sea salt and edible salt
1, manufacturing process difference. Edible salt, also known as refined salt, is generally made by mechanically heating seawater or underground rock salt to remove all impurities and adding anti-caking agents such as calcium phosphate, while sea salt is mainly made by repeatedly evaporating seawater and then collecting it manually or mechanically.
2. Color difference. Edible salt is generally pure white and looks flawless, while sea salt is generally slightly transparent, slightly white and some colors are slightly dark.
3. Difference in appearance. Edible salt is generally small and delicate, while sea salt is generally divided into crude salt, refined salt and flake salt. Each particle has a different size. Coarse salt is slightly coarse, fine salt is equivalent to edible salt, and flaky salt is small flaky particles.
4. The taste is different. Edible salt has high purity and high sodium chloride content, so the entrance is salty, and the taste is mainly salty, while the purity of sea salt is not high. Because a lot of minerals other than sodium chloride are retained, the entrance is not too salty and has a little fishy smell.
