What is the difference between high-end salt and ordinary salt? Can anyone tell me?

Flavour and appearance are the biggest differences between high-grade salt and ordinary salt.

1. Appearance

The purity of sodium chloride in high-grade salt is generally slightly lower, with more "impurities". The so-called "impurities" include minerals that our body needs, such as sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, etc., and there may also be bad pollutants, such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury. High-end salts of different brands and origins have different types and contents of "impurities", which will produce different flavors and colors.

2. Flavor

Different minerals will produce different flavors in salt. For example, salt with higher magnesium content will be a little bitter. High-grade salt has a lower grinding degree and is usually coarser and has larger particles. The salt flavor will be stronger and the flavor will last longer on the tongue. In addition, different salts have different flavors. Sprinkling it directly on food will taste richer than ordinary salt sprinkled on food. But if you use high-grade salt as ordinary salt, just add it when cooking and let the salt dissolve in the vegetables before eating. Well there is no noticeable taste difference between it and regular salt.

3. Nutritional differences are not big

The trace minerals in high-grade salt only change the flavor, because the content is too small and cannot be relied on to supplement daily minerals and trace nutrients. Therefore, in terms of nutritional value, all kinds of salt are similar.

In addition, sea salt, lake salt, well salt, rock salt, etc. are just different sources of salt. There is no distinction between these salts. The salt we eat every day can come from any of the above.
