Refined salt, commonly known as table salt, is a finely ground and purified form of salt primarily composed of sodium chloride (NaCl). It is typically extracted from salt mines or seawater and undergoes extensive processing to remove impurities and trace minerals. Additives like iodine (to prevent iodine deficiency) and anti-caking agents (to keep it free-flowing) are often included. Refined salt is widely used in cooking, food preservation, and various industrial applications.
