About Refined salt

Refined salt is sodium chloride purified and crystallised for use as a seasoning and food ingredient. It is usually sold as fine, free-flowing white crystals, though coarser crystals are also available. Its taste is clean and saline, without the mineral or trace flavours sometimes associated with less-refined salts.

It is used to season food and in cooking, baking, and preservation. Refined salt may be sold with or without added anti-caking agents, and some products have other additions; these details can affect how a particular product is used.
