As EIC for export, world-class salt exporter, we will walk through the questions, what is non iodized and what is iodized salt and everything you need to know about iodized and non-iodized salts, in this article.
Before giving a non iodized salt definition, let's fully understand what iodized salt is.
Iodized salt is basically salt to which iodine is added. Iodine is a trace mineral found in trace amounts in some foods like eggs, vegetables, and seafood. The body needs iodine however, it cannot make iodine naturally. That is why humans need to take iodine from foods.
Since iodine is found in minimal quantities in foods, it is also added to table salt in many countries to prevent iodine deficiency.
Both iodized salt and non-iodized salt look the same, taste the same, and feel the same. Then, what is non iodized salt? Non-iodized salt is salt without the addition of iodine. It consists of sodium and chloride.
Still, table salt is processed after being harvested. During this process, some additives and anti-caking agents such as sodium aluminosilicate, silicon dioxide, and magnesium carbonate can be added to the table salt. So, even if iodine is not added to it, other agents that enhance the taste and elongate shelf life might be included in the production.
