Is that like the grey salt you get in big yellow bags in the winter?
@RalfLott - Celtic Grey Sea Salt, if I had to guess. It's one of the more nutrient dense sea salts, to my understanding... I liked the Red Hawaiian Sea Salt, too...has some kind of clay in it. I really want to try the black lava sea salts! If you ever feel like going to salt overload, google sea salt varieties or look on amazon. I had absolutely no idea how many naturally occurring types there were! Oh, and i found a Sriracha Pink Himalayan Salt Grinder I can't decide if I'm brave enough to try!
@DittoDan used to be the master of different salts! I don't know if he's still experimenting with it all.
P.S. If you have a Natural Grocers store near you, they have a really inexpensive coarse blend of Pink Himalayan in their "house" brand.
I am getting a picture here...himalyan salt lamp...celtic sea salt in the kitchen...black lava salt in my nasal inhaler...horse hawaiian salt lick at my desk
btw @canadjineh I love black rice made risotto style, but with a bit more broth and then I loaded it with my current favorite vegetables--but on lowcarb I've must plan for the indulgence and change the proportions so vegs>rice2 -

I had to wash the dust off first though, lol. It had been stored away until we figured out if there was anything we could do with it. Now it has a new use as our home salt lick A bit of a fuzzy photo because it's hard to take a selfie while balancing a heavy chunk of salt in the other hand.

Just purchased some Celtic Grey Sea Salt.....love it! I use it for my keto-aid and everything else.
Sometimes, I add Trace Minerals and/or some liquid zinc to my salt-drink.1 -

No, we have to add our own fibre.
Pick.

I'm getting as bad with my varieties of salt as I used to be with my varieties of rice pre-LC. Red Japonica, Black rice, Arborio, Thai Sticky, Brown Basmati.... you get my drift. I need to find more varieties of salt, lol.

I do eat dried bull kelp and nori pretty regularly because they are my lo-cal/carb salty crispy snack (when I am on plan). I am a fan of sea veggies. I've got to see if I can get my hands on some of that Redmond salt, sounds interesting.0 -
These salt lick pics are too funny! Thanks for sharing; they promoted a good morning chuckle.0
