Do you sell salt or work for a company that does?

That's fine, everyone's gotta have a job. But you do need to disclose that in the post or the first comment, and it can't be just flat out SPAM, which, while salty, isn't quite what we're aiming for.

The Salt Road

Been reading more and more about Salt and its impact on geoeconomics, and there is so much to it!

Now I'm looking at the Celts. I had no idea they were Salt Miners! They had a network of trade routes, with the Via Salaria or Salt Road, which connected the Celtic salt centers in the Alps (Hallstatt, Hallein-Durrenburg and Reichensall) using overland trade routes to the Italian Peninsula and most importantly...Rome. These routes would have passed through the Alps and connected with Roman roads.

Like other roads (Silk, Spice, Royal or other), On the Via Salaria. they traded in salt, slaves, iron, gold, and furs, wine and other luxury goods.

It blows my mind to think that from those salt mining centers in Austria, they were about to build an empire, develop technology and thrive into a prosperous society.

I've included some images below

Im going to survive the lethal dosage of salt.

Over the past years, i have been eating alot more than the recommended amount of salt. I will continue to do this for years to come. My goal is to increase my tolerance for salt to the point where i can eat the lethal dosage with no reprocussions. Wish me luck.

Three salts!

I took a picture of three kinds of salt--clockwise from top are kosher salt, iodized table salt, and iodized sea salt.

Brown residue in bath after Epsom salt

I’ve recently moved house and I’m not sure if the pipes are dirty or what’s happening but I just took an Epsom salt bath and there’s a lot of brown residue at the bottom of the bath.. is this some kind of oxidation of the magnesium or??

Thanks in advance

first time trying black salt...and might be the last time.

I had no idea, got some himalayan black salt recently, thinking not much about it.

Used it to salt my salad, that has some ranch dressing in it.

The smell, oh the smell, it smelled like a septic tank, it was pungeant enough that other family members smelled it, reminded us of rotten eggs.

The taste wasn't bad at all, but each bite of that salad filled my nose with the sulfuric smell.

Brushed up online and found out it was normal and found out the reason.

I did put some in my chicken sandwich, it was very nice and didn't smell, but in a salad was bad, i think the problem begins when it touches something wet and dissolves.

Any opinions on the matter ?
