Which Salt Should I use?

Salt of the earth. Most salt sold in Brunei are Iodized [iodine]. Im not a salt specialist but just to let you know something about Iodized Salt. A raw salt contains lots of important minerals. Some of its element are not good for thyroid gland. The thyroid is one of the largest endocrine glands in the body. This gland is found in the neck inferior to (below) the mouth and at approximately the same level as the cricoid cartilage. The thyroid controls how quickly the body burns energy, makes proteins, and how sensitive the body should be to other hormones. WIKIPEDIA. Basically it helps us to prevent from Thyroid problems. Too much salt could cause heart diseases, like Heart attack. Always practise low salt intake for the sake of your health.

Recently Ive made little experiment of which salt to use in my kitchen. I found a solution how to avoid making food so salty. I find out that if you use damp salt, the high chances are that you get tiny chunks of salt in your cooking. That will be just horrible. So if you use good refined quality salt, that sprinkles easily like sand, i believe the salt are distributed evenly. Basicaly its just that :) no rocket science.

Table salt, Flying Man Brand. They labelled as fine salt. Damp salt. I can even build a small salt -castle. It's a no in my kitchen. rating 4/10

Pagoda Fine Salt. Easy to use as it is easy to sprinkle. When tested, the salt is as runny like sand. It was not wet too and it is easy to avoid salt lumps. rating: 9/10

Faiza Salt. Not so gritty. What you can see is a damp salt. If you have this in the kitchen, Try not to use on dressing of salads. You might get lumps of salt and you wouldn't want somone who swallow little chunks of salt. It would be ideal for cooking in liquids but I rather not use it on making cakes or breads. rating 5/10. Moutain salt, I have no clue the quality between sea and moutain salt. As most salt in the store are refined, then it should okay.

Saxa. Everyone should recognise this. It's been on the market shelf since I was little. It's the perfect table salt you can get. It's as runny as pagoda when sprinkled but it's granules is not as finely ground like the pagodas brand. Perfect table salt but I would not use it for cooking. rating: 8/10

The perfect fine ground salt. Refined and Iodized.
