What it is

Salt is a mineral, sodium chloride, typically harvested from evaporated seawater or underground deposits. Turbinado sugar is a partially refined sugar made from sugar cane, retaining some of its natural molasses.

Why it's used

Salt is used as a flavor enhancer, preservative, and to improve texture in many foods. Turbinado sugar provides sweetness and a distinct caramel-like flavor, commonly found in baked goods, cereals, and desserts.

Health notes

Both salt and turbinado sugar are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Salt is an essential nutrient, but high intake of sodium, for which the FDA Daily Value is 2,300 mg, is linked to high blood pressure. Turbinado sugar is an added sugar; the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams per meal. Excessive intake of added sugars is associated with several health concerns. Both ingredients have been evaluated by JECFA.
