Answer 1

Once you get used to ANY Kosher type of salt, Like Himalayan, you don't go back to table salt. Table salt has free-running agents in them that will taste very very awful compared to 'pure salt'. Use this salt, I'm sure you're gonna just love it!

I have some 'home made' salt by a family in Bali, Indonesia, and every time I use this special salt I think of the beautiful place it came from.

You'll see, Eddie!

Look at your web sites first...and then lets think about this.
#1- himalaya is a land locked region of asia with the highest mountains on earth. No oceans. No Seas. Kinda' a red flag people are selling an ocean product coming from a place with no oceans.
#2- Natural sea salt is cheaply available from every good supermarket, health food store, and specialty food store. Chefs and nutritionists both agree, there is no health benefits to sea salts, but some from different areas, like the red clay tinted hawaiian sea salt does have a SLIGHTLY different flavor than table salt.
#3- Most table salts have added iodine in trace amounts, which is an important trace mineral, and most nutritionists agree that is good.
I use natural sea salt and have for years. The average cost is about $1(us) a pound, and I use it for its flavor and texture, it in it's self has no health benefits over table salt, no matter what the claims. Read the ingredients...nothing there but salt, ...

Um, unless I"m mistaken, the HImalyans are mountains, not near an ocean/sea. So how are they getting sea salt? Sounds like a bogus way to sell a cheap commodity at a great mark-up.

I do agree w/ switchign from plain ol' table salt to kosher and/or sea salt. I use kosher for everything, even baking, and sea salt for finishing garnishes on veggies or seafood. Once you taste them both, then taste table salt, you'll quit table salt for good!

(Kosher salt does not contain iodine, so be sure you are eating seafood fairly regularly that does contain this essential nutrient so your thyroid will stay healthy.)
