Iodised table salt guarantees a fixed dose of iodine (as potassium iodide), which is important if your diet lacks iodine-rich foods like dairy, eggs, and seafood. If you eat a diverse diet, natural sea salt is the better all-round option. For those with limited dietary variety or risk of iodine deficiency, discuss supplemental iodine with your nutritionist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhy does natural sea salt sometimes clump?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClumping is a sign of purity. Natural sea salt is hygroscopic — it attracts moisture from the air. Without anti-caking agents (which refined table salt relies on to stay free-flowing), natural salt clumps in humid conditions. This is harmless and does not affect taste, quality, or nutrition. Store in an airtight glass or ceramic container away from the stove, and use a dry spoon when measuring to prevent moisture from entering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow much salt should I consume per day?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WHO recommends less than 5g of total salt per day for adults (approximately 1 teaspoon), equivalent to about 2000mg of sodium. This covers all salt from cooking, seasoning, and processed foods. Natural unrefined sea salt does not change this recommendation — it simply provides a cleaner source of sodium with trace minerals. Regardless of which salt you choose, moderation is key.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use white sea salt for pickling?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — and it is actually the preferred choice for pickling and lacto-fermentation. Anti-caking agents in commercial table salt can inhibit the beneficial bacteria responsible for fermentation, leading to less consistent results. Natural white sea salt, with no additives, creates a clean brine that allows lacto-fermentation to proceed naturally. Use non-iodised natural salt for all fermentation projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Dhatu Organics","offers":[{"title":"500g","offer_id":46678296592542,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Kg","offer_id":46678296625310,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/5421\/5326\/files\/Sea_salt.jpg?v=1777712022","url":"https:\/\/www.dhatuorganics.com\/products\/sea-salt-white-500g-1-kg","provider":"Dhatu Organics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
