Mon Aug 15 00:48:52 -0700 2005 0 Niki 1 1693868 Redmond Real Salt (link below). It comes in a handy plastic bag with a screw-cap closure. It's a fine grind, and it cakes a little bit. It seems to have a better taste than plain salt, but maybe that's my imagination. Kosher salt, from Utah! I think I got it at the Berkeley Bowl. I guess in this case the "sea" is a dried up undergound sea.

Research has shown that if you grind it into a smaller size you lose the "taste" / mouthfeel and it is almost indiscernable from regular table salt.

But, it still wouldn't pour from a regular salt shaker. Use it by fingerfuls like Michael Chiarelli does with his grey salt. Fri Aug 19 18:44:37 -0700 2005 1693932 0 kc girl
