Choosing Sea Salt or Table Salt?

Differences between Sea Salt or Table Salt

Some of people may thinking that it is healthier to consume sea salt than table salt because the sodium content of sea salt is lower than table salt. But, sea salt and table salt has same nutritional value, contains same amount of sodium. So, there are no reason for you to eat more salt when you replace table salt with sea salt.

Sea salt is obtained directly through the evaporation of seawater. It is usually not processed, or undergoes minimal processing, and therefore retains trace levels of minerals like magnesium, potassium, calcium and other nutrients.

Table salt, on the other hand, is mined from salt deposits and then processed to give it a fine texture so it’s easier to mix and use in recipes. Processing strips table salt of any minerals it may have contained, and additives are also usually incorporated to prevent clumping or caking.

Sea salt is suggested compared to table salt in term of less using of chemicals to process it. So as to reduce toxins accumulation in our body. And sea salt contains other types of minerals which have been stripped away from table salt during high heat processing.

Keep your sodium consumption less than 2400 mg/day.
