the package of 250 million year old sea salt sitting on the shelf at the semi-local little specialty store that is going to expire in a few months.

 

As documented here.

 

What amuses/infuriates me most are the claims that one salt is more pure than another. Pure salt is quite simply sodium chloride  (NaCl)). Any flavour difference you might detect between salts are the impurities. So, any suggestion that say, Himalayan Pink Salt is somehow purer is is inherently nonsensical.

 

Pure salt is almost impossible to buy.

 

(and Kosher salt is a peculiarly American thing. And misnamed. Few have heard of it outside North America.)
