Table Salt

Table Salt comprises the most common and widely used category of salt, characterized by its fine, uniform crystals and high purity. This category is defined by its intensive processing, which involves mining from underground salt deposits or evaporating seawater, followed by refining to remove trace minerals and impurities. The result is nearly pure sodium chloride, often fortified with iodine (as iodized salt) to prevent iodine deficiency disorders, and anti-caking agents to ensure free-flowing consistency. Its primary function is as a universal seasoning and preservative, integral to everyday cooking, baking, and food production
