So, what is salt med jod?

Salt med jod is a type of table salt that has been fortified with iodine, an essential nutrient for thyroid function. This type of salt is commonly used in Nordic countries where iodine deficiency is prevalent due to the low iodine content in the soil. The addition of iodine to salt helps to ensure that individuals consuming it are meeting their daily iodine requirements. Salt med jod has the same taste and texture as regular table salt and can be used in the same way in cooking and seasoning. It is an easy and convenient way to ensure adequate iodine intake.
