Table Salt

On January 4, 2011, in Types of Salt, by Sushant

Salt kept in the dining tables in decorative pans to sprinkle on to your food in case of necessity are nothing but the table salt. The name goes to this kind of salt by the very purpose of utilization. The table salt could either be obtained from the sea as well as from underneath the earth. Natural minerals Table Salt The table salt obtained from rock salt underneath the earth is a common type in majority. All those remaining sea salts are not processed completely just like the table salts. They do contain minute traces of those impurities of so many sea minerals. Experts suggest that these are negligible traces of mineral content which cannot be lethal to the consumers of this salt. Still the presence of these impurities in these salts serves the purpose of added on flavor, color and texture to the color of the gravy and curry prepared out of it. Table salt lacks these natural ingredients due to its complex manufacturing methods. It is completely free from all the impurities. Moreover table salt undergoes a special process during its preparations. It is the process of iodization. Majority of the table salts supplied these days to the consumers are just the iodized salts alone. There might be variations in the percentage of iodine content present per part in the table salt. The structure and the grains sixes of the table salts are quite uniform. The uniformity in the crystals sixes enable the salt to gets dissolved in the food stuff more readily than the sea salt. Iodization Apart from the iodization process there is one more supplement added on to the table salt. This is a chemical additive which gives the table salt the property to not to get clung together when kept in a container. The crystal rock salts comparatively even with little absorption of moisture from the atmosphere will tend to get cluttered inspite of being preserved in closed containers. The nutritional value of the table salt could just be equivalent to that of the sea salt. There is no lack of nutritional value just because of the absence of those sea minerals. The chemical composition of both the kinds of salts is almost the same under given standard conditions. Table salt can be superior to the sea salt when it comes to the texture of the salt particles as well the flexibility for processing. Diseases There is certainly marked difference in the taste of the table salt while compared to that of the sea salt. All your body requires in a day is just about a couple of hundred mg of the table salt and nothing else more when it comes to the Na Cl needs of the human system. So, mind that you are not consuming in excess quantities of table salt. Also make sure it is not being in excess quantities to the elders in the family to avoid developing unnecessary diseases. Most of the diets use the table salts to very big quantities when compared to the recommended levels mentioned above. So in that case, the chances of developing blood pressure related diseases are very higher when people consume such types of food.
