Edible Salt, also called Table Salt or just salt, is a mineral, one of a very few mineral substance commonly eaten by humans. There are different forms of edible salt: unrefined raw salt, refined salt, table salt or iodized refined salt. It is a crystalline solid, white or light grey in colour, obtained from sea water or from rock deposits. Sea Salt comes in fine or larger crystals. In nature, it includes not only Sodium Chloride, but also other vital trace minerals. Edible rock salts may be slightly greyish in colour due to this mineral content.

Iodised salt (also spelled Iodized Salt) is table salt mixed with a minute amount of various salts of the element iodine. The ingestion of iodine prevents iodine deficiency. Worldwide, iodine deficiency affects about two billion people and is the leading preventable cause of intellectual and developmental disabilities. Deficiency also causes thyroid gland problems, including "endemic goitre". In many countries, iodine deficiency is a major public health problem that can be cheaply addressed by purposely adding small amounts of iodine to the sodium chloride salt.
