Table Salt

Table salt is the most common type of salt around the world. It is harvested from salt deposits found underground. But it is highly refined and finely ground, with impurities and trace minerals removed in the process. It’s also treated with an anti-caking agent to keep from clumping. Most table salt is iodized, meaning iodine has been added to prevent iodine deficiency, which can cause hypothyroidism and other maladies. Iodized table salt is a mixture, not a pure substance. The only way to get a pure substance is NaCl with no iodine.
