Types of Salt Explained | Which Salt Should You Use #foodparables #cookingtips #kitchenbasics
Not all salt is the same and knowing the difference matters. Table salt, flaky salt, pink Himalayan salt, and refined mineral salt all taste like salt but they don’t all do the same job in your kitchen. Some are for seasoning while you cook. Some are for finishing a dish right before you serve it. And some are honestly just marketing. Knowing which salt to reach for and when saves you money and makes your food better.
📌 Today’s Verse: “You are the salt of the earth.” Matthew 5:13 CSB

GRANNY IS SALTYYYYYY
I feel like pink Himalayan is less salty? 😅 but it may be in my head 😂
I like it in salad 😊
You're the best, Granny. Can I borrow your orange tool?
THANK YOU I am tired of people saying salt is salt. Nope, the chemical structure of the salt drastically effects texture and flavor depending on how you use it.
Thank you for explaining! I never understood the difference but this helped!
Shouldve mentioned iodine content people are getting sick from trying to use fancy salt all the time and not getting enough iodine
Thanks for this👌
popcorn salt 😀
Big helpful. 🌟
Fun Fact: Over 90% of salt mined in the US never makes it to food. It ends up on our roads.
I use sea salt
Thank you
Thank you Granny!!
Iodine… You didn't mention, it's important ‼️
This is so good to know, thank you!!!!!
what about black salt?
I use a mineral salt for almost everything. It's good, I can taste the difference and I didn't believe I would at first (on the bag it makes the claim you can taste the difference)
I also have sea salt, and then regular table salt and had a bag of that "Celtic sea salt" but gave it away to a chef friend
All salt is sea salt.
But pink salt tastes so much better!
Just curious is there a brand of unrefined mineral salt you prefer?
I've used iodized table salt, sea salt, and kosher salt for pickling and fermenting, but the Himalayan salt messed up my brine so I avoid that one for canning.

Who knew ❤
I don't care if it isn't special…. I like it bc it's PINK!!! 😂😂😂
Have you ever used grey salt? I think it's from a specific area of France 🤔
Do you recomend any slat substation
Do you have a source that you would like to divulge? Gotta get the really good stuff.
Thank you. I was just wondering this the other day.
I'm a kosher salt girlie. [Diamond Crystal] Fun fact, that salt is used to MAKE foods kosher, it isn't like, specially made to be kosher.
Nice
I have regular fine ground sea salt, pink Himalayan and celtic salt. I love the celtic salt in my homemade mayo.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Keep killin' it, Granny Man 💯 Thorough explanation. 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤
You forgot kosher salt
Good to know….. and since I use table salt in everything….. That explains a few things
Thank you about the pink Himalayan salt. I get more people telling me that I should add that to my diet. No it's salt.
Himalayan salt has less sodium and takes more to actually salt the food. My son who is a kidney patient sent me down a rabbit hole of researching all salts when he was a baby.
Thanks!
We got a thing of fine pink Himalayan salt and it seems a lot saltier than the regular table salt.
dude moves his head like a south park character
What about Baja gold salt?
You have confirmed all my thoughts about types of salt – thank you 🙂
Interesting. Thanks
