Salt plays a very important role in our life. Salt is industrial salt and edible salt. In life, many people are stupid about industrial salt and edible salt. In fact, there are still some differences between industrial salt and edible salt. Everyone should know more about this common sense.

The difference between industrial salt and edible salt

The main components of industrial salt and edible salt are different. Of course, both industrial salt and edible salt contain sodium chloride, but the purity of sodium chloride in edible salt is higher. Industrial salt is directly formed by seawater solarization without any processing procedures, so the purity of sodium chloride in industrial salt is low. Industrial salt also contains nitrite and impurity minerals.

I believe everyone knows the harm of nitrite to health. If eaten in excess, it will cause discomfort and even poisoning. Industrial salt and edible salt are very difficult to distinguish if they are only distinguished by simple taste.

From the appearance, industrial salt and edible salt are also different. Edible salt is mostly pure white and fine-grained after processing and packaging, while industrial salt is mostly light yellow crystalline particles without any processing, and industrial salt is coarse and large.

Industrial salt is mainly used in industry. It has a wide range of uses and can be used in many places, such as hydrochloric acid, caustic soda and soda ash. These are all made from industrial salt. Edible salt is extracted from seawater or underground rock salt deposits and is an important flavoring agent. Eating salt in moderation every day has a good effect on your health.

Industrial salt is inedible. If it contains sodium nitrite, it may cause poisoning after eating. If you eat too much, you may get sick within ten minutes, and the patient will have dizziness, tinnitus and other uncomfortable symptoms. In severe cases, convulsions will occur and you will fall into a coma. So it is best not to eat industrial salt.
