What is the difference between sea salt and normal salt?
The two
are salts and we use them daily, but there is a
slight difference between them, which we can explain as follows:
Sea salt
It is the
salt that is produced from the evaporation of sea water,
salt lakes, or oceans,
and that type of salt requires little treatment in order to be ready for use and
there are different colors and degrees of
different roughness and it contains many basic elements
and minerals such as sodium chloride by 77.76%, magnesium chloride by 10.88%
and magnesium sulfate By 4.74%, calcium
sulfate by 3.60%, potassium chloride by 2.46%, magnesium bromide by 0.22%,
and calcium carbonate by 0.34%.
Salt is
present at a rate of 105 grams in every four
liters of sea water, and that percentage varies in different places of water, where the percentage reaches 1% in the Arctic continent,
while it increases in closed seas such as the Mediterranean
and the Red Sea, where it reaches 5%.
Normal salt
Normal salt is extracted from underground salty sediments and needs more
treatment compared to sea salt, as anti-caking agents are added to it and iodine is added to it, which maintains the thyroid gland as well as differs in texture from sea salt and also in color.
Sea salt is very similar to Normal salt in nutritional value, but it is rumored that sea salt
is more useful than table salt and this is not true as the two components
are the same, and according to the
dietary guidelines for Americans, the rate of salt used per day should not exceed 2300 mg.
