Salt is one of the cheapest staple items in Guatemala. Most household salt is produced from coastal salt flats, primarily in the Pacific departments of Escuintla and Retalhuleu. Iodized salt is the standard and is widely available. Salt is sold in small bags or by the pound at markets, and is used generously in Guatemalan cooking.
