About Salt, table, iodized

Salt is the essential seasoning found in every kitchen, a crystalline mineral made mostly of sodium chloride and harvested from seawater and rock deposits. It delivers one of the basic tastes, saltiness, and does far more than season, sharpening other flavors, balancing sweetness and bitterness, and preserving food by drawing out moisture. Salt comes in many forms, including fine table salt, often iodized to support thyroid health, plus flaky sea salt, coarse kosher salt, and pink Himalayan salt.

It supplies sodium, a mineral the body needs in modest amounts for fluid balance and nerve and muscle function, though most people do well to keep intake in check, since excess sodium is linked to high blood pressure. Use it to season at every stage of cooking, to brine and cure meats, and to finish dishes with a crunchy flake. Store salt in a dry, airtight container, where it keeps indefinitely; a few grains of rice help fight clumping in humid weather.
