Not all salt is sea salt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halite
In most places salt from precipitation (salt mines) is cheaper and more common than sea salt (from evaporation) due to it being more concentrated (~5x to ~10x in comparison to sea salt).
And then there is fleur de sel which has much higher levels of iodine than normal salt and is typically hand harvested by scraping only the top layer of salt.
- mastax 10y ago> Halite occurs in vast beds of sedimentary evaporite minerals that result from the drying up of enclosed lakes, playas, and seas. Sounds like sea salt to me. (or at least I think this is what the author was arguing)
- HugoDaniel 10y agoIn a way we all come from the sea :) Lets not be pedantic, sea salt is refering to the way that the salt is being extracted, if it is extracted from the sea or not (from the rock).
