Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 The story goes that a volcanic eruption covered a sea (Part of the legendary Lake Bonneville?) many eons ago. As the water disappeared the salt settled and lay hidden for hundreds or thousands of years until it was discovered again near the town of Redmond, Utah. t os now for sale in an unaltered state and has the most admirable taste of any salt I've ever encountered before. It makes Himalayan sea salt downright bland by comparison! I "discovered" it a few years back...I'm from northern Utah and never heard of it before...and use it for a lot of things now. t's great on most any kind of beef, eggs, most fish, etc. I was running low and decided it was worth searching for. Took a long time.maybe three minutes, to find it on Amazon. I got two 10 ounce plastic shaker bottles in the mail this morning. Just in time. I was down to a quarter tea spoon. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and hunt down a bottle of it. About the only things it doesn't go well with are chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and cherry pie.

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 That's it. Comes in a number of containers of various sizes, and in a some different grinds, too.
Pat Riot Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 My wife and daughter are all Gaga over Sea Salt. I really don’t find it any different than Morton salt. Besides, I like the iodine in case I am radiated. I will have to try some of this. Thanks Forty and Chas.

Michigan Slim Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I like it particularly for rubbing into and onto baked potato.
Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Back when we had our feed store we would buy chunk rock salt from a producer near Redmond. Came in pieces about 25-50 pounds each on a pallet that weighed about 2,000 pounds and wrapped in chicken wire. Local cattle ranchers swore that it was better and more easily tolerated than processed mineral salt blocks. Usually went through about 40,000 pounds every third month. Was mostly reddish in color (probably why they called it Redmond salt) though the color would vary load to load. Regards Gateway Kid

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I went to a steak house that had 7 different salts. They were described by age, location, and taste aspects. There was definite difference in taste.`

bgavin Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 I have the strongest taste of sweet is when it is combined with salt.
Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 Can’t do salt anymore because of Carol’s condition but I wonder. Does the Bonneville salt have a slight gasoline and rubber aftertaste?

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted December 31, 2020 Posted December 31, 2020 Never figured out the craze over sea salt. All I've ever had tastes like salt with dirt in it. JHC
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Posted December 31, 2020 This is almost sweet and has no additives, not even iodine. It's very lightly shaded with a bit of pink, almost white, and has a few impurities in it, but it's the best salt I've ever had. The Bonneville salt is only tainted near the track where the cars run, about a 500th of the total salt flats. Do you know that you can't sink in The Great Salt Lake? So much salt that the buoyancy is increased so you float much higher and if you don't have rocks in your pocket you won't sink. Redmond was named after some early Pioneer. Has nothing to do with the salt.

Clay Mosby Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Got my order, and WOW, that stuff is GOOD!!! Very, very strong, not so much in flavor but more in presence. The taste is very good, almost a hint of sweetness and the finish. Don't need to use half as much as other sea salts I have.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 I tried it. I like it. Even more important than that, Hubby liked it.
Pat Riot Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 This salt really brings the flavor out in foods. I really like it.
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 24, 2021 Posted January 24, 2021 BTW, my MIL, who is 97 must take salt pills. Hubby suggested we send her some of this. PS I woke up with cotton mouth last night. I'm not used to adding salt to things. We had bacon, hash browns, and eggs. I only put the salt on the eggs.
