Many consumers still (mistakenly) believe that sea salt contains less sodium than table salt
As for sea salt - another growing part of the Cargill’s portfolio thanks to its premium, gourmet, natural and unprocessed image - many consumers still (mistakenly) believe that it contains less sodium than table salt, gram for gram, said Johnson and Van Norden
While some people argue that the intense flavor of sea salt means manufacturers can use less – thereby reducing sodium – this is more a matter of perception than fact, as results from analysis using trained sensory panelists do not support this theory, they added.
