Pink salt isn't necessarily "stronger" in terms of sodium content, but it does have a slightly stronger and more complex flavor compared to white salt.
According to the reference, white salt has a more neutral taste. Pink salt, on the other hand, offers a more pronounced and interesting flavor profile, which some people prefer for the unique taste it adds to their dishes (26-Jan-2023).
To clarify, when discussing "strength" in the context of salt, it's important to differentiate between:
-
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Content: Both pink and white salt are primarily NaCl. The actual sodium content is quite similar between the two.
-
Flavor Intensity: Pink salt contains trace minerals that contribute to its color and also impact its flavor, giving it a slightly more pronounced taste than regular white salt.
Therefore, the "strength" is referring to flavor intensity, not sodium concentration.
