eli5: Why is non-iodized salt sold?

1.29K viewsOther

I usually buy the salt that says “this salt supplies iodide a necessary ingredient.” But yesterday I accidentally bought one that says “this salt does not supply iodide..” which always makes me wonder… if iodide is a necessary nutrient why would salt be sold without it.. and explicitly state that ???

Anyways, I’m basically wondering if it’s bad enough that I should go out and buy the salt that supplies iodide. I know it’s not a life or death ordeal but I’m just now beginning my ✨caring about what I put in my body✨ journey so if this salt will only give me all the bad components of salt without any good ones, I’ll go get another one.

When I first started playing around with baking bread, everything I read said to use non-iodozed salt, as the iodine can effect the taste. I’ve never done a side by side comparison to see how true that is, but the container I put 10 pounds of salt in remains.
