Good friends who love food are generally not limited to Chinese restaurants.

There are so many special delicacies around the world. Traveling around the world and tasting snacks from other regions can also accumulate profound knowledge.

If you have compared the differences between Chinese restaurants and Western restaurants before, you will find that there are such big differences in the food culture of the two places.

Just use the salt used in cooking. The common salt among Chinese people is iodized salt, which is white in color, fine in texture, and has a mellow salt taste.

The salt used by foreigners is colorful, including red, pink, black, yellow, white, etc. Why do the salts used by foreigners come in so many colors? What are the different flavors of this salt?

We first need to understand that there are three divisions of salt. The first is edible salt, which is specially made to be used for cooking after removing the impurities in the salt.

The second type is raw salt, which is obtained from macroscopic nature. The particles are thick and have not been carefully processed.

The third type is Kosher Salt, which is a salt that is more delicate than table salt and can remove the blood of meat and make food cleaner. It is a salt that only Michelin chefs use.

Then let’s take a look at the salt used in China. The common salt among Chinese people is edible salt. Most of this edible salt is collected from Yanjing Town and Salt Lake.

In China, edible salt has very high regulations, and there is a set of strict unified requirements for edible salt standards.

Therefore, the edible salt you see on the market currently, no matter what type or brand it is, is basically special edible salt with iodized salt.

It is also perfectly combined with the cooking in Chinese restaurants, using the mellow salt flavor to arouse the flavor of the ingredients.

Let’s talk about the salt used by foreigners. One type of salt commonly used by foreigners is Fuqing and mineral salt.

This kind of salt comes from nature and basically does not remove dirt.

Since natural salt contains residues and is not purified, the special color of the salt is preserved.

The algal compounds in Fuqing and the minerals in mineral salt are all responsible for giving the salt different colors, but these salts also have completely different tastes when eaten.

No one knows exactly how much raw salt there is in the world. We only know that this salt with a beautiful color is suitable for embellishment at the end of work.

This kind of salt is not only beautiful in appearance and unique in design. In addition to being used to garnish food, it can also be placed at home as a decoration.

Therefore, in the foreign market, raw salt of various colors is favored, and the larger the piece of raw salt, the higher the price.

Light pink Himalayan rose rock salt is the brightest star in the industry. As the most popular and famous raw salt, the lovely light pink Himalayan FM rock salt earned it the title of "Rose"

.

Because the surface is crystal clear and the light is very beautiful, this kind of salt is a very popular material in the decoration industry in addition to being eaten.

The black Indian black salt is a mineral salt from India. Because the salt contains sulfates, it smells very pungent.

The scent of sulfate will not be unfamiliar to everyone. Have you ever soaked in a sulfur-smelling open-air hot spring?

Or have you ever smelled the smell of rotten eggs?

That's the smell.

Hawaiian black salt, which is both black in color, looks more sparkling black. Although it is both black in color, you can tell the difference if you look carefully.

Because these salts have different colors and beautiful surfaces, the product price is much more expensive than Chinese edible salt. In the promotion, it is always stated that they contain high nutrition and good ingredients, but the specific nutritional ingredients of these salts are not unique.

, compared with other foods, it really has no nutritional advantages.

The value of this salt is that it is beautiful and can be used for decoration. Therefore, we must not think that this beautiful salt has so many nutrients and has paid "accidental income tax."
