<p>First of all, let’s find out what this salt is all about:</p>
<p>Also known as solar salt or bay salt. Sea salt is produced by evaporating sea water or water from saltwater lakes. This is done with minimal processing as compared to table salt with is extracted from sedimentary deposits and is heavily processed to remove minerals.</p>
<p>Depending on the source of water, sea salt may vary in composition of minerals and elements. This creates a variety of flavor, color, and levels of coarseness.</p>
<p>According to Bruce Neal, an Australian Professor, the consequences of consuming sea salt and regular table salt are similar. These are largely attributed to the main ingredient which is sodium chloride. One big difference is that table salt has a higher amount of iodine compared to sea salt.</p>
