Is this shit a meme? Is sea salt a meme? Can I get a quick rundown on salt?

It's salty

>> No.9475446

Unless it's smoked, seasoned, or black salt it's all going to taste the same - salty; but different coarseness levels will give you different textures. I use fine sea salt for just about everything, still blows my mind that all you have to do is evaporate ocean water to make it.

thanks guys

the amount of sodium and other minerals (like potassium) also varies between salt varieties, which affects the flavor significantly

also check if your salt has iodine added to it, since that stuff's good for you and you might be deficient if you don't eat a lot of eggs and seafood

Doesn't matter if it's sea salt, Kosher, man-made/iodized, pink, white, whatever.

The one thing that seriously impacts flavor is whether it's roasted or not.

No, some salt is mined since there are natural salt deposits in the earth.

to be a debbil's advocate, many of those deposits are from ancient dried seas (but not all)

suck my salty nuts, fagboi

>> No.9475539

If you tried hard enough could you grow nut salt?

>> No.9475553

>>9475539
Scrape your nuts once every day, and extract all salt crystals apart from the dirt and dead skin cells, and you will eventually end up with a small vial of pure salt by the end of the year.

>>9475465
Somewhat. Take the salt out of that shit grinder and put it in a grinder with multiple setting for how coarse you want it. Coarse salt is better for solid meats and fine is better for ground meats, soups, etc
