Some salts have significant health benefits, while some salts are harmful. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of edible salt products, exploring different varieties, their unique characteristics and usage in daily life. 

Varieties Of Edible Salts 

You can find a wide range of salts around the world. Every salt has its unique flavour and quality, which makes it famous among people in different cuisines. In ancient times, people used salt as an essential element for trading purposes; let’s look at some of the types now. 

Table Salt 

Table salt is one of the most commonly used salt varieties worldwide. Table salts are a high process, and minerals are eliminated in them. We use table salts in different cuisines and foods. You can find table salt crystals in both iodized and non-iodized crystals. Non-iodized salt crystals are healthier as compared to iodized salts, as non-iodized salts have slightly less sodium present in them. 

Sea Salt 

Another variety of salt is sea salt. We can obtain this salt from evaporated seawater. Sea salt has more minerals than table salt if we harvest it using natural methods and not machines. It is not processed. People use sea salts, especially in gourmet cuisines and cooking. You can find sea salts in different crystal levels, from powdered form to coarse crystals. 

Himalayan Pink Salt 

Himalayan pink salt is one of the most expensive salts in the world compared to other table and sea salts. It is one of the finest salts, free from impurities and pollution. Himalayan salt has a mild earth flavour to it because of the minerals present in it. Using Himalayan salt will bring many health benefits to diabetic and heart patients. Himalayan salt has pink hues in them because of the iron oxide present in it. People use Himalayan salt rocks for decorative purposes and as a finishing touch on dishes. These pink hue crystals come in powdered form and also in coarse crystals.  

Kosher Salt 

Kosher salt is one of the purest forms of salt; it is free from additives and artificial flavours. It has large crystals compared to other salts, so it is easy to sprinkle on different meals. Kosher salt comes from the kosher process, which Jewish people use to drain the blood from meat before cooking by coating the meat in a layer of kosher salt. Kosher salt has large crystals. As with ordinary salt, salt does not dissolve quickly, which gives flavour to food but keeps the natural taste of the meal or cuisine intact. 

Rock Salt

Rock salt is also known around the world because of its rocky crystal size as compared to table salt. People in the Middle East use rock salt to freeze ice creams, and it is also used for food preservation. 

Smoked Salt 

Smoked salt can be sea salt, table salt or another kind of salt that undergoes the process of smoke infusion, which adds a smoky charr flavour and aroma to it. Smoked salt is best for barbeque or steak dishes. 

In Conclusion 

Salt is the staple culinary item found in every household. It enhances the flavour of your meat. Pakistan is famous for its Himalayan salt from the Khewra mine. Kosher salt is a favourite among Jews, and table salt is renowned worldwide because it’s the cheapest salt and brings good flavour to the food. Salts like Himalayan salt are also beneficial for both edible and non-edible perspectives. Edible Himalayan salt is mineral-rich and is suitable for curing heart diseases and diabetes.

In contrast, non-edible rock salts and Himalayan salts are directly mined from the mines and can be carved into beautiful lamps and decorative pieces. Every salt has its unique taste. Smoked salt has a smokey flavour and fragrance to it, which makes it perfect for sprinkling on top of food items in fry items like french fries, steak and BBQ items.
