Is there a significant chemical or nutritional difference between sea salt...

[jrthecat]

...and other table salt? I have been told that "sea " salt is better for us than table salt mined on land. Is not salt sodium chloride? Do not elements always combine in the same atomic proportions, in this case, Na Cl ? Does "sea" salt always contain other chemicals that are good for us not found in other salt or other salt contain contaminants?

sea salt does not have any differences from table salt other than texture

Sea salt is salt obtained from evaporated seawater, as opposed to salt mined from land deposits.

As opposed to pure salt, it usually contains micronutrients such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium. However, sea salt is not always iodized as is "normal" salt. Although with the huge prevalence of iodized salt today it would actually be rather difficult to acquire an iodine deficiency, it is something to consider. There are also brands of iodized sea salt on the market.

There is also mined sea salt. As far as I know, it is not for consumption, but it has some healing properties, I think it is the salt of the ancient sea that has now become landmass (i think they dig it in the Urals in Russia and possibly in other places). It has high potassium chloride content
