What it is
A Natural Salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl). It is extracted from underground salt deposits or evaporated from seawater or saltwater lakes. The mineral is then typically purified and may be ground to various sizes.
Why it's used
A Natural Salt is used to enhance the flavor of foods. It also acts as a preservative by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. It is commonly found in processed meats, snacks, baked goods, and pickled products.
Health notes
A Natural Salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Sodium, a component of salt, is an essential nutrient, but high intake is linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. JECFA has evaluated salt and has not set a numeric limit (ADI not specified). The World Health Organization recommends limiting sodium intake for better health.
