Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,274 Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pat Riot, SASS #13748 22,649 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited December 30, 2020 by Pat Riot, SASS #13748 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gateway Kid SASS# 70038 Life 619 Posted December 30, 2020 Share 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. James H. Callahan 1,676 Posted December 31, 2020 Share 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 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Forty Rod SASS 3935 7,274 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
