white salt
Common kitchen mineral
White salt is ordinary table salt—sodium chloride refined to remove minerals and impurities that would give it color.
The term distinguishes it from sea salt, rock salt, or specialty salts that retain gray, pink, or other tints.
In cooking contexts, white salt usually just means the standard stuff in the shaker.
