magnesium chloride
Salt for roads
Magnesium chloride is a chemical compound of magnesium and chlorine, occurring naturally in seawater and salt deposits.
It's used to de-ice roads, suppress dust, and as a dietary supplement.
In food production, it serves as a coagulant for making tofu.
The compound is highly soluble in water and has a bitter taste.
