Speaking of sea salt, why do white people all of a sudden like sea salt? Is it somehow saltier? Why do they think it's better?

Sea Salt does taste different. In you average table salt there is some bitterness, but that is from the iodine that is added.  I really like sea salt on popcorn popped with extra virgin olive oil.

A while back, I bought a couple of containers of salt at the store.  Most of the salt sold did NOT have iodine.

I didn't think he lived near the ocean.  It must be something else.

If you like that, you should try it with 73 Virgin Olive Oil.  Almost heaven.

Because they read about it at stuffwhitepeoplelike.com

I just bought some of that last week for the first time.  It's like some type of miracle medicine I think.

I've seen it, never tried it.  I've also seen dark chocolate with chili pepper in it.

Sea salt does have a different taste than iodized, so I hates it. I like iodine. It's delicious.

I used sea salt in a batch of beef jerky brine not long ago.  I got the proportions wrong, so the jerky made with it turned out badly and I had to toss the batch.  I blame Fistful.
I suspect if I had measured the amount of salt correctly, the jerky would have been pretty good.  It certainly would have tasted different than jerky made with regular table salt.

It's a craze, just like organic stuff...personally, I do not have fond memories of sea salt due to swallowing salty sea water while playing at the beach as a kid...ugh, nasty stuff...


As a funny note...when I was a real little kid, I thought the oceans were salty because they had dumptruck loads of table salt added to them on purpose yearly...

Sheesh.

Why even bother with animation when a better job could be done with construction paper and string?  Have we become that "easily amused"?

Shouldn't "sea" salt already have some iodine content?  I thought the main reason they iodized salt was that people living inland didn't have any good food sources for iodine.

Anyone know how they make regular table salt?

From a salt shaker!

I think it is mainly a flake size thing that gives a different taste when you use it on finished food. I've used kosher salt for years just for that reason. My new fav is canning salt since it has no anti-caking additives. Trying to avoid any ingredient that has anything to do with aluminum.

[230RN]

I always called it "Nackle."

I remember reading somewhere that canning nackle is not recommended for consumption.  It's just for raising the boiling point of the water you're heating your cans (i.e, Mason Jars) in.  If I recall correctly.

You can order it in pure form from a chem supply house.  I mean, really pure.

I use sea salt because my family back east extracted a bunch from water. Free, interesting story, and the taste is indeed slightly different.
