Secondly, even if these edible salt contain some minerals and trace elements, according to the daily salt intake of ordinary people, the minerals and trace elements that are taken in are not achieved. "If it was me, I would definitely not spend more money to buy these salt." He Jiguo said.

For the "salt reduction salt" with potassium salt instead of sodium salt, what is the explanation of the country that due to the heavy taste of some people, there is indeed the risk of excessive sodium salt intake of hypertension, and sodium reduction can achieve the effect of prevention. However, if you want to achieve the effect of reducing salt and not to reduce the taste, you can also pay attention not to put salt at the beginning when cooking, but wait for the salt when the dishes are about to be out of the pan, making the salty taste more prominent.

The nutritional value and taste may not be better than ordinary salt in the nutritional value and taste than ordinary salt. "It's just a business gimmick of marketing, but just say that the publicity and brand of origin and the brand have obtained an excess premium."
