Watching a youtube vid today. Well produced, the host seems bright, recipe is good…

And then she says, “I use sea salt because it has less sodium.”

I beg your pardon? Salt is sodium chloride, right? One part sodium one part salt. (Needn’t take my word for it.)

I understand that people may prefer to use it due to texture – that’s in the cooking process, not the consuming process. I am totally unable to accept that anyone who uses onion powder rather than onions could discern trace elements in sea salt.

So what’s your take?
