AngiochefSalt
Salt is a mineral, mostly sodium chloride, and the single most important seasoning in cooking, drawing out and balancing the flavour of food. It comes as fine table salt, flaky sea salt, and coarse kosher salt. Season food in layers as you cook, salt pasta water generously, brine meats to keep them juicy, and finish dishes with a pinch of flaky salt for crunch.
Polyols
SorbitolNot a source
Source: Not a source of sorbitol or excess fructose (structural classification)
What this means
This is salt's own sorbitol content, not a recipe amount. Sorbitol is a polyol — a type of sugar alcohol — calculated from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.20 g threshold (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
Sugars
Total fructoseNot yet analysed
Excess fructoseNot a source
Source: Not a source of excess fructose (structural classification); total fructose not measured
What this means
These are salt's own fructose figures, not a recipe amount. Total fructose is how much fructose the food contains. Excess fructose is fructose minus glucose, counted only when positive, since glucose helps the body absorb fructose — it is the figure behind the "Low fructose" filter and the recipe figures. When measured, both come from two official food-composition databases, Germany's Bundeslebensmittelschlüssel (BLS 4.0) and the French Ciqual table. Recipes are evaluated separately against a 0.40 g threshold of excess fructose (a per-serving cutoff from Varney et al. 2017, Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, applied to one reference serving of the recipe) — an ingredient's own figure isn't directly comparable to that number, since a recipe combines several ingredients in different amounts. This describes the food, not a guarantee about how your body will respond to it.
