Is sea salt healthier than ordinary salt?

Sea salt and salt are both sources of sodium chloride, and there is no scientific evidence that sea salt is healthier than salt.

Although some studies show that minerals in sea salt may be beneficial to health, the results of these studies are inconsistent, and there is not enough scientific evidence to support the view that sea salt is healthier than ordinary salt. In addition, the mineral content of sea salt also depends on the type of seawater extracted and processing technology, and the mineral content of sea salt from different brands and sources may be different.

Therefore, the choice of sea salt or ordinary salt should be decided according to personal taste, health status and needs. It is more important to control the salt intake properly in the diet. At the same time, it is suggested to diversify the diet and get enough minerals and other nutrients from various foods.

Introduction to the history of sea salt:

The history of sea salt can be traced back to ancient times and it is one of the earliest condiments used by human beings. In ancient times, people extracted sea salt by evaporating sea water. This salt-making method has existed for thousands of years. The manufacture and trade of sea salt has become an important part of ancient civilization, and many countries and regions have obtained wealth and resources through sea salt trade.

In China, the manufacture and use of sea salt also has a long history. According to historical records, China began to use sea salt in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and used it for cooking and medical treatment. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, the manufacture and trade of sea salt has become one of the important industries of the country, and the government has also set up special institutions to manage and control the production and trade of sea salt.
