Iodine is an essential mineral which is commonly found in seawater and soil. It is useful for brain development and prevention of thyroid disease like goiter. Common sources of iodine are seafoods, table salt, dairy, tuna, and eggs.
Table salt is one of the common sources of iodine if it is fortified. However, some salt contains less or no iodine at all. Some manufacturers don’t fortify their salt with iodine or if fortified, these iodine were lost throughout the transporting, storage and cooking process. That is why, extra care must be done during those processes.
