I use pink Himalayan salt so I’m only adversely affecting WASPs.
For finishing salt, I am using Maldon Sea Salt Flakes.
We use pink Himalayan salt, have done so since the 1990s. Just seems to taste better and is convenient to grind as desired in those grinder bottles that contain the salt chunks. That having been said, I just looked up an article on it by some doctor (I take what doctors say with a grain of salt). Says there are many trace minerals in it, including radium, uranium, polonium and thallium. I wouldn't worry, as those are extremely tiny traces if present at all, and naturally occur in many foods we eat (like bananas) in larger amounts.
As for sea salt, they recently closed down some very old sea salt ponds here in the SF Bay Area. They were huge, on the shore for miles, and there used to be giant mountains of salt in the dry ponds that one could see as you drove by them on the highway. There is plenty of salt in the ocean!
I use an exotic salt blended using kidney residue harvested from Spotted Owls and caged “Coffee Civets.”
Just doing my part to save the ocean.
Wouldn’t this be racist against Himalayan Yetis?
