Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all

Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?

    The nutrition panel only captures a subset of important bioavailable nutrients.

    For example, water is obviously a digestible nutrient, but is not represented there on.

      Exactly, the nutrition label isn’t a list of all substances found by chemical analysis, it’s literally just the most important “nutrition” information
