    I personally don't find it any better then cheap kosher salt. Sea salt is sea salt is sea salt. Unless something special is done like its wood dried the only flavor that should come threw is salt. Hence they all taste the same. Guessing your talking about their flavored salts.

    So what's so special about the Sodium Chloride in this part of the planet that other places on Earth lacks? Salt is Sodium Chloride and there's no difference. Before anyone shouts 'trace elements' (official definition is less than 100 parts per million or 100 micrograms per gram), they're in such low quantities that you'd have to eat a kilogram of salt to get 1 gram of trace elements.

    Nice company. And salt can have such a broad range, from flaky to rock salt to industrial salt with no life. I recently harvested a bunch of salt from a special place of the corsican coast, all natural, no osmosis and triple purification. I did clean it though, removed visible impurities (mainly), rinsed it, cooked it dry. I have beautiful pyramidal crystals and the taste of that salt, omg. It has so much more soul. Not that you taste the ocean (mediterranean sea to be exact), but it has such a body, a spectrum. And thats what makes natural sea salt so different and actually healthy, its rich of many elements. Except some micro plastics maybe, but you cant get away from them anyways. 😬😉

    The thing is, they spoke about removing calcium, magnesium, etc, and just leaving "pure salt" so it sounded like they were filtering everything out. Esepcially when considering the reverse osmosis. This is an interesting company, I will have to check them out and see more about them. I have been using "Redmond Real Salt" for a number of years now.

    You can visit the Jacobson salt factory and buy it direct if you are ever in the area. It is worth the trip, they usually have products you cant find in stores or online. There is also a top tier oyster place just down the road (I forget the name but they have a sign so its hard to miss). Best oysters I have ever had. Just make sure to ask them if they are there oysters because during algae blooms they source them from sister farm in Northern Washington. The oysters from Washington are great but the ones from netarts are top tier.

Plus the addition of magnesium and calcium increases the salinity wayyy beyond the normal limit, and will be harmful for the oyster farming as it would destroy the ecosystem... I think many other companies buy it... To use it as raw material... Ever heard of de-icing??? It's done by spraying salt on the roads in snowy areas... Also, nuclear waste is stored in salt containments... As its almost impermeable, and conducts heat well... They might also be used to make pure magnesium or calcium... Or used to make hard water... Which is actually beneficial to health... Hope it gives some clarity...
