What it is

Lime and sea salt is a flavor combination made from lime, a citrus fruit, and sea salt, which is salt obtained from evaporated seawater. Lime provides a tart, citrusy taste, while sea salt adds a briny, savory flavor.

Health notes

Both lime and sea salt are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as food ingredients. Sea salt is primarily sodium chloride, and a high intake of sodium is associated with increased blood pressure. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride. Lime is a natural food and does not have specific health concerns at typical consumption levels.
