Title: What's the bullshit deal with "SEA SALT"?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on December 09, 2014, 12:07:42 PM
It annoys the fuck out of me how marketers try to make something cheap seem high end by listing salt as "SEA SALT"  cheap as Lays chips with sea salt or chocolate with sea salt etc...  so lame.  I guess people don't realize that all salt came from the sea.

Wendy's ruined their fries with that stuff.

And it's impossible to find a decent chili dog nowadays.

I thought non sea salt was from salt mines, not the sea.

Yes you are right. What the OP should have mentioned that they are essentially the same while people make a big deal how wonderful and special sea salt is.

I think sea salt doesn't have iodine, something like that.

Yep, which IMO makes it not as good as normal salt as far as people talking about it being such a healthful salt in comparison.

Many people who switch to sea salt/use more of it tend to increase their total salt intake. This can be problematic.

I think the opposite is true. Typically, the larger/coarser the flake/crystal, the less someone will use.

Iodine is added to typically highly processed everyday table salt.

Its not.  There are differences in sea salt and if you are experienced, you know them.

Different salts peak differently, dissolve differently, have a different texture and spread throughout a mixture differently, each has a different effect on moisture in foods.

There is a lot of difference and variation depending on what salt you use.

I thought non sea salt was from salt mines, not the sea.

Salt wells drilled into salt domes.  Pump water down, dissolved salt comes up.  


The sea salt thing came about because people believe that it contains trace minerals from the ocean.

I was just trolling. Obviously you eat salt you just don't add extra to season your food.

No I'm serious bro, I don't have salt.  No processed foods either.  My BP has dropped dramatically! !!  I use salt free condiments and cook all my foods.  I mainly eat turkey and fish and organic veggies.  I drink water and ice tea and make my own club soda water.

One can't live without sodium. Sounds like you have a very low sodium diet but you still take in some sodium in foods, otherwise you would be died.

Yes, I'm sure the food I eat have sodium in them.
