Sea salt

[pdxfrogdog]

Not talking rust here... artisan sea salt for the foodie wannabes. What does sea salt have to do with jeeps? Well, not much, but this husband and wife team use a jeep in their collection process, which put a smile on my face.

sea salt hmmm

Not sure what makes folks believe that the sea salt is better for you , more natural . If you think of all the chemical plants .refineries . and water treatment plants that dump into every river in the US and every other country then into the sea . and the garbage scows that were hauled out to sea . everyday. the medical waste that washed up on the shore ,Whale poop. dead birds ,fish, bodies from hurricanes , floods , waste from nuke powerhouses ln Japan , the waste of the 150 billion animals a day slaughtered for food ,what ever is left over from the 7.5 billion people world wide ,and all the untreated waste from third world countries with no regulations on dumping anything into the 'sea ' ........... I think I like my salt dug from a place deep underground that came from before the industrial revolution , before mass extinction , before anything .
as always, just me thinking .......again

One reason is that a percentage less sea salt is required to achieve the desired taste affect.

Also sea salt flakes can have a nice, crunchy texture, compared with regular salt. Of course I may be just using too much!

I like sea salt on steaks. It is larger crystals so on a larger piece of steak it takes a bit longer to break down so you can get a nice crust on a steak when you grill them.

I started using sea salt because of my beer brewing process. It is highly recommended because it doesn't contain iodine.

 

[southpier]

but isn't iodine a good thing? I thought it was put into table salt because people don't get enough. of it.

Same as everything, too much will harm you just like too much sodium, too much iodine, too much alcohol, too many female models strutting around your house naked. They can all lead to heart attacks.
