About Salt, table
Table salt is sodium chloride, the fine crystalline mineral that seasons more food than any other. It's usually refined to a uniform grain and, in many countries, fortified with a little iodine — a quiet public-health measure that has prevented a great deal of deficiency.
As an ingredient it's almost all sodium and chloride, both of which the body genuinely needs to manage fluids, nerves and muscles. The catch is quantity: salt is so easy to overdo, especially through processed and restaurant food, that most dietary advice is about using less of it rather than more.
A pinch transforms a dish; a habit of heavy seasoning adds up. Used with a light hand, table salt is one of cooking's most powerful tools.
