Edible salts, also known as table salts, are salts generally derived from mining (rock salt) or evaporation (including sea salt). Edible salts may be identified by such characteristics as their geographic origin, method of preparation, natural impurities, additives, flavourings, or intended purpose (such as pickling or curing).

Name	Image	Type	Notes
Alaea salt		Seasoned	A Hawaiian-style sea salt mixed with a red volcanic clay.
Alpenbergkern salt		Rock	Salt from the Salzkammergut area in the Alps. This salt contains 84 minerals. Its high iron content gives it a unique tan color.
Anatolian (Çankırı) salt		Rock	From underground salt deposits in Çankırı, Central Anatolia, Turkey. Rocks have a white translucent appearance. There are many caves in the province that are used for salt mining since the Hittites.
Anglesey sea salt		Sea	Also known as "Halen Môn." A Welsh sea salt extracted from salt flakes harvested from the Menai Strait in Anglesey (PDO).[1]
Asín tibuok		Sea	Literally "whole salt" or "unbroken salt". A rare Filipino traditional artisanal sea salt made from continually soaking coconut husks in seawater for six months then burning it into ashes. Seawater is then poured through the ashes and the resulting brine boiled in clay pots in a furnace. The result is an egg-shaped lump of salt. It is characteristically sold with the upside down broken clay pot, earning it the nickname of "dinosaur egg salt" due to its appearance. Used as seasoning by scraping over food. It originates from Bohol island, Philippines.[2][3]
Bahamas sea salt		Sea	Sea salt has been produced on Great Inagua Island since the 1930s. The Morton Salt Company bought the facility in 1954. This site, comprising 300,000 acres on Great Inagua Island, produces about a million pounds of salt per year‚ the second largest saline operation in North America. Bahamas sea salt can be found in grocery stores and supermarkets in the United States.[4]
Balinese sea salt		Sea	This seawater is poured over a flat area of raked black sand and left to evaporate for several days. The dry salty sand is gathered and transferred into a series of coconut trunk vats. More sea water is then poured over the salty sand—this filtering process can be repeated several times, until the briny liquid reaches its briniest. The brine is poured into long hollow tree trunks and left to evaporate completely for a final time.
Black lava salt		Seasoned	A salt colored with activated charcoal. Hawaiian manufacture among others.
Brine			A saltwater used in the preservation of food.
Butter salt		Seasoned	Salt with butter flavouring.

Dead Sea salt		Sea	Salt extracted or taken from the Dead Sea.
Egyptian frost salt		Rock	Crystalline salt that takes its name from its texture similar to frost.
Einville salt		Sea	Brine is pumped to the surface of a well from 200 meters below ground and evaporated to produce the salt. Production is by Salines d'Einville, located in Einville-au-Jard, in Lorraine, France. Pétales de sel resemble fleurs de sel. Activity began in 1871, renewed in 1988.[6] Similar to salt produced by the J.Q. Dickinson Salt-Works in the Kanawha Valley in West Virginia and Maras salt from Peru.
Flake salt			A type of salt with flake-shaped crystals
Fleur de sel		Sea	A hand-harvested sea salt, typically from France.
Garlic salt		Seasoned	Salt mixed with garlic powder.

Halite		Rock	The mineral term for rock salt.
Himalayan salt		Rock	A rock salt with a pink color, mined in Pakistan.
Ilocano Asin		Sea	Evaporated in salt ponds and hand harvested at Pangasinan province in the Philippines. Ilocano Asin is coarse, moist, and white.

Kala Namak		Rock	Kalo Nun or Kala namak is a kiln-fired rock salt used in South Asia with a sulphurous, pungent-smell. It is also known as "Himalayan black salt."
Kampot sea salt		Sea	Sea salt from coastal salt pans in the Kampot and Kep provinces of Cambodia.
Kanawha Valley salt		Sea	Produced by the J. Q. Dickenson Salt Works in Malden, West Virginia.[7] Brine is pumped to the surface from 300 feet below ground and evaporated to produce the salt. Similar to Einville salt and salt from Maras in Peru.
Khoisan salt pearls		Cyclic	South African salt formed by wind action across a salt pan.
Kitchen salt			A coarse salt that is used in cooking but not at the table.
Korean salt			Has a larger grain-size compared to common kitchen salt. Also known as "Korean brining salt."
Kosher salt			A large-grained, non-iodised salt.
Lake Grassmere salt		Sea	Seawater, from the Pacific Ocean, is pumped into Lake Grassmere, New Zealand and evaporated.
Maldon Sea Salt		Sea	Sea salt flakes harvested in the River Blackwater, Essex, UK.[8]
Maras salt		Sea	Salt ponds are more commonly found on coastal plains, filled with seawater from the incoming tide. The ones in Peru are at an altitude of 3,000 metres. It’s a long way to the ocean, but it wasn’t always so; this impressive mountain range was once part the sea floor. The movement of tectonic plates pushed the seabed up to form the Andes. The sea salt was locked into the rocks and filters out through the Qoripujio spring, which is then routed to roughly 5,000 evap ponds staggered down the valley in terraces.
Mongolian lake salt		Sea	Evaporated from saline lakes in inner Mongolia.
Moshio salt		Seasoned	Dried seaweed that is boiled in sea water to form a brine which is then crystalized.

Onion salt		Seasoned	Salt mixed with onion powder.
Persian blue salt		Rock	Extracted from a salt mine in the northern province of Semnan in Iran. The intriguing blue colour occurs during the forming of the salt’s crystalline structure, as intense pressure is exerted on the salt deposits. The individual crystals fracture the light in an unusual way and the resulting blue (which is caused by an optical illusion), becomes visible.
Pickling salt			A fine-grained, non-iodised salt used for pickling.
River reed salt			A salt produced by burning river reeds from along the Nzoia River in Kenya.
Sal de Tavira		Sea	A Portuguese sea salt extracted from salt pans on the Atlantic coast (PDO).[10]
Sale Marino di Trapani		Sea	An Italian sea salt extracted from the salt pans of Trapani, Paceco and Marsala (PGI).[11]

Seasoned salt		Seasoned	Any salt which has been flavoured.

Sel de Guérande		Sea	A French sea salt from the salt marshes of the Guérande Peninsula (PGI).[12]
