pre-ground salt often contains sugar (as an ingredient, it's on the package).



I've never seen this, this would lead to some sticky salt.

Usually you see anti-caking agents and Iodide added.



Nice, interesting explanation https://windsorsalt.com/faq/


I just like the number of people who replied to this telling me I'm full of it when a simple google image search returns hundreds of results.


It didn't sound plausible tbh since they add anti-caking agents and sugar seems like a pro-caking agent. I even googled salt additives (to keep the search neutral) and it didn't turn up sugar anywhere.


Yeah, no. I'm really going need to see some evidence for this.


What? They sell salt with added sugar in the US!?!?


It must be a special kind because Morton's the most popular brand of table in the USA has salt and calcium silicate, no sugar at all, 0.



I bet there's salt somewhere that has added sugar, but I have never personally seen it in my life.


Yeah, no. I have no idea what that person is referencing. I've had all the available salts around me and I've literally never seen sugar in salt. That would be insane. They do use an anti caking agent sometimes though, but that's more like sand
