2. Precautions for eating salt
1. Does salt have a shelf life?
When many families buy or use edible salt, most of them do not pay attention to the production date of edible salt, nor do they care about the shelf life of edible salt. They often buy a lot of edible salt, as if they were holding a big promotion. After a long time, the salty taste has not changed, and it is considered that edible salt can still be used normally.
The main chemical component of salt is sodium chloride, which is the main source of salty taste. The chemical properties of sodium chloride are very stable, so it is impossible to change the salty taste no matter how long it is stored. But salty doesn't mean it hasn't gone bad. Because salt contains not only sodium chloride, but also potassium iodide. Although the properties of potassium iodide are relatively stable, the iodine in potassium iodide will volatilize under long-term light, wind and heat conditions, which will reduce the iodine content in table salt and affect the effect of iodine supplementation. Therefore, salt has a shelf life, and the storage time should not be too long, preferably three years.
Step 2 add salt and stir fry
Iodine in iodized salt is added in the form of compound potassium iodate, and the properties of potassium iodate are relatively stable. However, in the cooking process, potassium iodide will decompose into iodine and volatilize when it meets high temperature. If you put salt into the pot as soon as the oil is hot when cooking, iodine will evaporate because of the high temperature. Therefore, when cooking, try to add salt when the dish is about to go out of the pot to ensure less iodine volatilization.
3. Put the salt in an open container.
Many families are used to putting salt in a convenient place when cooking, and will not seal the salt container. In fact, this can easily lead to the deterioration of edible salt.
Iodized salt should be stored in a covered, light-tight and sealed container, and away from the stove to avoid high temperature. It is best to put it in a cool and dry place to avoid direct sunlight or moisture absorption.
4. There is little difference between iodized salt and non-iodized salt.
Some people, especially the elderly in rural areas, don't understand the significance of iodized salt, and think that eating salt means eating its salty taste, which has nothing to do with iodine. There is little difference between eating iodized salt and not eating iodized salt, which is very harmful, because if you are an iodine deficiency patient, not eating iodized salt will aggravate your condition, and if you are a hyperthyroidism patient, eating iodized salt will also aggravate your condition, while ordinary people will get sick if they don't eat iodized salt for a long time.
