How people cook with it
Salt is a fundamental seasoning in cooking. It enhances the natural flavors of food and can be used in both sweet and savory dishes.

Iodized salt can be used in place of regular salt in most cooking applications. It is suitable for everyday use at the table for seasoning meals or for incorporating into recipes during preparation. When baking, it helps to control yeast activity and enhance the overall flavor profile of the final product. For preserving foods, salt draws out moisture, which inhibits microbial growth. The amount used will depend on the specific dish and personal preference for saltiness.
