Salt started out as a preservative in the days before refrigeration - HTF does it expire?

we used the grinders next to the stove during cooking.

These are salt ponds near Machu Picchu, Peru. They’re fed by a single water source about the size of a water hose. They’re massive, the entire valley is tiered.

Pepper in an automatic gravity grinder, but kosher salt in a flip top. There's no point in grinding salt.

Himalayan salt ....Himalayan sea salt comes only from Pakistan, or even more specifically, from the Khewra salt mine in Jhelum District in Punjab.

It probably doesn't, but table salt is just plain bad for you. They add stuff to it to keep it from caking. I keep two salt pigs on my kitchen counter. One with coarse pink Himalayan, and the other with fine sea salt.

This why nobody comes here any more. I got some salt labeled Himalayan 1000 year-old salt, and now y'all are raining on my parade.

Imposter terrorist salt? Nope. Saw the pic's of the Sherpa's backpacking the salt off of K2.

I can really tell the difference in the two-year old salt, freshly ground, and the fresh salt. Salt starts to lose the nose after about 18 months. I've had salt from all over the world, including some great Hawaiian. But this K2 sourced salt is amazingly fragrant, and really adds a sumthinsumthin to recipes. We even do salt tastings with our neighbors.

Mom always did. I haven’t taken the time to do it because our salt doesn’t cake up.
