Impurity

Impurity is when something is mixed with other materials that make it dirty or not as good as it should be, like when water has dirt in it and isn't clean to drink.

Examples

• When making homemade ice cream, adding too much salt can introduce an impurity that affects the flavor and texture, so it's important to measure carefully.
