They range from Sea salt, Himalayan Pink salt, Black salt, Smoked salt, Celtic salt, Kosher salt, Red Hawaiian salt and others.</p>
<p>As simple and inexpensive as it is, the very many benefits of salt makes it a must have item in the kitchen cupboard. Salt offers a variety of benefits but it is important to maintain an healthy intake as exceed salt intake would lead to salt poisoning. Doctors recommend about 2.5 grams of the standard table salt, approximately 1 teaspoon on a daily basis for an adult and less than 1 gram for young children. It is important to be aware that a huge amount of salt is already in most processed foods ranging from breakfast cereals, bread, and meats.</p>
<p>Salt is generally derived from water, whether it’s from fresh water, the sea or underground salt deposits. Regular table salt , which is common salt or otherwise known as Sodium Chloride is derived as a result of a process using additives whilst natural sea salt or rock salt comes directly from evaporated ocean water.</p>
