Salt is a metal and a nonmetal. It can have two atoms or more.

the only regularly consumed salt in the human diet is sodium chloride/table salt

we aren't talking about weird stuff like potassium chloride or ammonium chloride which occasionally get used as additives or substitutes

[Pastrey Crust]

Sodium cloride and potassiun iodite.

do you have a glass jar of potassium iodide that you sprinkle on your food

because we're still talking about table salt

at most, it's used as an additive in table salt for iodine deficient populations. but it's still not what we use for actual flavoring - pure table salt - which is the salt we assume to be speaking of when we say salt in a casual context

do you have a glass jar of potassium iodide that you sprinkle on your food

sprinkle a little bit of that on some pan-seared scallops - absolutely divine

[Pastrey Crust]

Table salt has potassium iodide by law for people with an iodine deficiency.

[Juncoph]

Table salt has potassium iodide by law for people with an iodine deficiency.

...no, it's not required by law. potassium iodide is required by law to be in salt called "iodized salt" because that's what iodized salt is - table salt with a pinch of potassium iodide.

non-iodized salt is completely legal and does not have potassium iodide
