Fine Salt
Sharp, clean, and quick to dissolve, more concentrated per spoonful than coarse salt.
Lens analyzedFine salt is table salt ground into small, uniform granules that dissolve quickly and measure consistently by volume. It's the everyday seasoning salt most home cooks reach for first, distinct from coarser kosher or sea salt crystals.
Where it comes from
Fine-ground salt became the household standard once mechanized milling made consistent small crystals cheap to produce, replacing hand-broken salt blocks in most North American kitchens by the mid-20th century.
Buying it
Iodized fine salt covers most everyday cooking needs; check the label if you specifically want or want to avoid added iodine. A shaker or resealable box keeps it easy to portion.
Storing it
Keep it in a sealed container in the pantry, away from steam near the stove. Clumping usually means moisture got in, not that it's gone bad.
Keeps about 1 year in the pantry.
