Difference Between Sea Salt and Table Salt What is the difference between sea salt and table salt

The appearance is different. Ordinary salt is generally pure white with fine grains, while sea salt has more colors, including white, gray, etc., and is relatively coarse and more grainy.

The ingredients are different. Sea salt refining is relatively natural, retaining many trace elements, such as phosphorus, iron and some heavy metal elements, and its sodium content is high, while ordinary salt has been processed to remove most of the trace minerals and elements, and the nutrients are less.

The taste is different. The taste of ordinary salt is relatively ordinary, only salty, while sea salt has a unique taste, with umami in the saltiness, and has a rich aftertaste, and the taste is better.

**Different. Sea salt is more complicated to collect and make, the cost is relatively high, and the nutrient content is high, the taste is salty and fresh, and its ** is higher than ordinary salt.

1. The raw material of sea salt is seawater, and the water is evaporated to produce sea salt, which is a good choice for pickling or barbecue.

2. It can maintain the original taste of food to the greatest extent and highlight the fresh and sweet taste of the ingredients.

3. Salt is generally mined from underground salt mines and processed into finer crystals.

4. According to the different origins and minerals contained in it, the color of sea salt is different, including white, pink, black, gray and mixed colors, while ordinary refined salt is white fine particles.

5. Refined table salt is the most common salt, and during its processing, impurities need to be removed and anti-caking agents like calcium phosphate added.

6. Refined table salt is very delicate, which is not only easy to weigh, but also easy to mix with food.

Sea salt is better.

Differences: 1. Sea salt is generally more expensive than refined table salt because its collection method is more complicated.

2. Sea salt is also edible salt, so you can't eat too much. However, unlike table salt, it contains much less sodium than table salt.

3. Depending on the origin and minerals it contains, sea salt has different colors, including white, pink, black, gray and mixed colors. Whereas, ordinary refined salt is white and fine particles.

4. In ancient times, sea salt was made by using the ancient traditional handmade salt process, which was selected and processed, and had the characteristics of natural purity, crystal whiteness, saltiness and freshness, and sweet aftertaste. The inhabitants of the coastal areas have been very fond of using sea salt products to cook their ingredients since ancient times.

5. Well salt is made of rock salt or underground natural bittern as raw material and refined by vacuum salt making process. In the production process of mine salt, some chemical impurity removers need to be added to remove impurities in the brine, and then refined through a number of processes. Because the natural mineral components and trace elements in the mine salt are basically lost in the process of salt production, the sodium chloride content of the mine salt is very high, and the taste is only salty and slightly bitter.

The role of table salt.

1. Freshness. In the process of cooking, some foods have some peculiar smells, and adding an appropriate amount of salt can suppress the peculiar smell of the food itself and help improve the umami of the food;

2. Taste. When I was a child, my mother always used salt to marinate the fish first, and my mother told me that this purpose can not only play a role in the flavor, but also make the fish more delicious, and also play a certain role in sterilization.

Sea salt withEdible saltThe difference lies in the different production processes, edible salt is obtained by mechanical heating of seawater or underground rock salt mineral salt, sea salt is mainly made of seawater as raw material through repeated evaporation, and there are differences in color and shape, edible salt is generally pure white in color and very small particles, sea salt is generally slightly transparent in color, and the size of each particle is different. Finally, there is the difference in taste, the edible salt is salty in the mouth, and the sea salt is not too salty, with a little seay smell.

1. Differences in production processes.

Edible salt, also known as refined salt, is generally used to remove all impurities by mechanically heating seawater or underground rock salt mineral salt, and calcium phosphate is added at the same time.

Sea salt is mainly made from seawater as a raw material through repeated evaporation to make crystallization, and then it is harvested manually or mechanically.

2. Difference between color and shape.

Edible salt is generally pure white in color, looking very white and flawless, and edible salt is generally very small and delicate like hair.

The color of sea salt is generally slightly transparent, slightly white, and some colors are slightly dull, and sea salt is generally divided into coarse salt, fine salt and flake salt, and the size of each particle is different.

3. Taste difference.

Edible salt because of the high purity, sodium chloride.

The content is high, so the entrance is salty, and the taste is mainly salty, while the purity of sea salt is not high, because in addition to sodium chloride, it also retains a lot of minerals, so the entrance will not be too salty, with a little seay smell.
