I get salt in my diet. I try not to go overboard. I purchase the pink Himalayan salt to cook with and add to my food. The typical table salt I hear has been stripped of too many minerals.

Yes, regular bleached salt is bad news. Pink Himalaya or Utah Redmond is good. We also use Celtic sea salt, but due to microplastics, moving to the pink.

I haven't examined Himalayan. However, Redmond (Utah) "Real Salt" is full of rust and sand. Someone gave me a bag because it was grinding down what was left of his teeth. I dissolved, decanted, and dried it. Labeled it Whitemond salt.

That's depressing. I looked into this a while back and thought it was the best salt on the market.

I still think it's the best salt. If it had sand in it I would think I would have noticed by now. Crunch, crunch.

Can you provide more details on Redmond? Would love to find out more details.

Pretty much already posted what I know about it. They mine it near Redmond, Utah; sand, rust, and all. Somewhat sticky, so must have some other minerals such as calcium and magnesium. I took the supernatant to dryness; no attempt to recrystallize pure sodium chloride.

Thank you. I may contact Redmont to inquire further.
