In this short today, salt, also called sodium chloride, is one of the five basic tastes felt by humans. It can radically change the taste, add flavor and neutralize sweetness.  There are two ways of obtaining table salt: through mined deposits, a technique primarily used in the United States and Europe, or by evaporation and crystallization of seawater, made in tropical countries such as Brazil.  Seawater is a natural resource with several types of dissolved salts, including sodium chloride. On average, there are 35 grams of sodium chloride for every liter of seawater.  We'll discuss refined salt, Maldon salt, Flor de Sal, Himalayan pink salt, Indian black salt, and Light salt.
