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.

There is absolutely no problem using non-iodized salt at home. Many cooks prefer kosher salts without iodide. If you eat seafood, eggs, strawberries, seaweed, potatoes, or lots of other foods you’re getting some. If you eat commercial baked goods, you’re getting some. If you eat at restaurants, you’re probably getting food prepared with iodized salt.
Basically, there’s enough iodized salt in the food supply that most people never have to think about it and can safely ignore the warning on the box. If you cook exclusively at home and do not eat a wide variety of foods, either use iodized salt or look up foods that contain some.
