“So Whole Foods isn’t where they buy their Arugula and Fleur de sel?”
That was a new one to me...
I had to look it up: “Fleur de sel, literally “flower of salt,” has been gathered on the island of Ré, off France’s Atlantic coast, since the seventh century. Beloved by cooks, these fine, light crystals have a delicate flavor and high concentration of minerals, making them the perfect finishing salt.”
Maybe the millennials are buying it at Williams-Sonama instead, for the super bargain price of $15 for a little jar. Plus S&H...
Around here it’s called “Whole Paycheck”. Trader Joe’s is almost as bad with very little organic, non GMO, blah blah foods but prices high. It’s just ‘cool’ to go to TJ’s and spend $60 for one bag of weird food.
Here is a cheaper version of finishing salt that is also highly rated.

Maybe people need some physics input. Every sodium atom and ion in the universe is absolutely identical to the best of our knowledge, which is fairly extensive.
