Hello If you want to find out just how shitty it is, dissolve about a cup of it in boiling water and then strain it though a coffee filter. When I tried it, the filter had brown looking dirt in it! I evaporated the filtered brine and the salt was now pure white damp or dry. I wouldn't want to speculate on what that brown dirt might be! [;>) Shak

It is seen as a form of guarantee. ANY Salt is fine providing it hasn't been "purified" or "improved". Actually, now somebody pointed it out - the sea off the coast of France *is* *really* shitty! You would be well served to get good ol' rock salt in its roughest form. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
