When buying edible salt, should you choose "sea salt" or "refined salt"? Benefit from it as soon as possible, and learn not to suffer losses when you buy it again
When it comes to cooking, salt is an indispensable seasoning, known as the "first of all flavors", which can enhance the flavor, flavor and appetite. At present, there are many kinds of salt in the supermarket, including refined salt, sea salt, bamboo salt, well salt, high iron salt, high-calcium salt, and so on.
First of all, are nutrient salts really nutritious?
Calcium, iron, potassium and other minerals are essential minerals for the human body, and the addition of these substances to table salt seems to increase nutrition, but in fact, it has little effect. You know, each person can only eat 5~6 grams of salt per day, how much can be supplemented?
Usually we eat the most refined salt, sea salt (coarse salt), today we will talk about the difference between them, if you still don't know how to choose salt, hurry up and follow me to learn.
1. Sea salt
Sea salt, as the name suggests, is the salt obtained from the seawater, that is, the sea water is dried by sunlight, and the salt saturation crystallizes to become sea salt, which is coarse salt. Because seawater contains a variety of minerals, including calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, iodine, etc., it seems to be very nutritious, but there are also many impurities in it, including those that are harmful to the body.
Therefore, sea salt is not recommended to be used as edible salt directly, and is generally used as pickling salt, such as for pickles, or in industry. If you usually stir-fry, don't use sea salt. Due to the large number of impurities, the taste is also bitter.
2. Refined salt
Refined salt refers to the salt that is purified, processed and refined from raw salt, that is, purified and refined from dried sea salt, so the purity of refined salt is very high, and the sodium chloride content shall not be less than 99.30% in the first grade and 98.50% in the second grade.
Because it is purified, the refined salt has almost no impurities and has a pure taste, which can be used for cooking and pickles.
Therefore, for stir-frying and cooking at home, it is still recommended that you buy refined salt. There are 1 yuan for refined salt, and there are dozens or hundreds of yuan, which is better. In fact, buying salt is not the more expensive the better, as long as you recognize these 3 points, you can ensure that you can buy cheap and delicious high-quality salt, many people still don't know it.
[Look at these 3 points when buying salt]
1. Look at the ingredient list
The ingredient list of table salt, the fewer the ingredients, the better, the ingredients of general refined salt are refined salt, and if it is iodized salt, potassium iodide is also included. A lot of table salt contains a kind of "potassium ferrocyanide", which is an anticoagulant that prevents the salt from clumping, is a qualified food additive, and is harmless to the human body.
2. Look at the production standards
Salt is a necessity for the people's life and is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, so it must meet the national standards and eat it with confidence. According to the current national standards, the production standards for refined salt are GB2721 and GB/T5461, which are national standards. There is also a Q standard, which is an enterprise standard, which has higher requirements than the national standard, and you can also buy it with confidence.
3. Look at the grade
The higher the grade of table salt, the higher the purity, the less impurities, refined salt is divided into excellent, first-class, second-grade, high-grade salt: sodium chloride content ≥ 99.1%, first-grade salt: sodium chloride content ≥ 98.5%, second-grade salt: sodium chloride content ≥ 97.2%. It can be seen that there are very few impurities in high-grade salt, and it is recommended to buy this one.
In addition, the production date is also a little more careful, the shelf life of table salt is relatively long, can reach 5 years. When preserving table salt, care should be taken to protect it from moisture, light, and in a dry and cool place.
