It's 100% not salt at all, it's acid and sugar. Not sure why you would claim it was salt.

Citric acid is often sold as "sour salt", so maybe that's where the confusion arises

Page snype so here have this

Except usually without even the explanatory text, so welp

So "salt" in this case means a white powder that can be shaken over food. I guess sugar is Sweet Salt, then.

Corns of citric acid look geometrically more like corns of sodium chloride than granules of sugar so I'll allow sour salt.

There is also sodium citrate, an actual salt, used for flavoring, emulsification (it's amazing at this), and to dust rim of margarita glasses.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.
There is also Nose Salt, which is what I call cocaine.

I use it for cheese dip/queso. Perfectly smooth sauce from aged cheddar for dipping pretzels is amazing.

I made some sodium citrate myself out of citric acid and baking soda, because I didn't want to wait for Amazon to ship it. It turned my preexisting, poor-melting cheese dip green and weird tasting

I probably used too much

You can also use citric and malic acid to add acidity to juices like grapefruit and orange. It gives them the same acidity as lemon or lime juice so you can use them in a cocktail like a Daiquiri with the exact same proportions but a different flavor.
