Himalayan pink salt from a mine tastes better than regular old table salt made in a lab or wherever they make it. We use it almost exclusively in cooking and on the table. JMHO YMMV STFU GTFO

Kosher salt is simply sodium chloride with no added anything.

Also most table salt is processed to remove impurities prior to being made into granules of a very specific size. Obviously any salt that has a color other than white has other stuff in it, which does affect the taste and may even be beneficial. I particularly like the flake salt that is made by the evaporation of sea water in a few areas in France. It's sorta gray in color and is great when used to enhance the flavor of both savory and sweet things. It's even good on ice cream believe it or not.

Good info.
