Organic salt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are two common meanings of organic salt:

• In chemistry, an organic salt is a salt containing an organic ion.

• In marketing, organic salt is a term for table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) that is harvested in natural environments, like sea salt, and not treated with additives like iodine (in the form of sodium iodide, or NaI, to reduce thyroid problems) or anti-caking agents. Technically, organic salt in this context is an oxymoron, since this kind of salt is always inorganic. See also Organic food.
