Natural sea salt refers to the salt extracted directly from seawater, which is rich in minerals and trace elements, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium. In addition, natural sea salt also has a certain antioxidant effect.

Edible salt refers to processed salt, which usually removes impurities and minerals and has high purity. Edible salt plays a seasoning role in the cooking process, which can improve the taste and flavor of food. In addition, edible salt can also be used to preserve food to extend its shelf life.

Although natural sea salt and edible salt are similar in composition, there are still differences in specific applications. Natural sea salt is more suitable for cooking methods such as stew and barbecue, because its minerals and trace elements can add rich flavor to food. Edible salt is more suitable for pickling food and seasoning, because of its high purity, it is not easy to affect the original flavor of food.
