I was in Foodland the other day and this section caught my eye. I had to stop and bust out my camera.
Smoked sea salt - doesn't that sound interesting? Sprinkled on some salmon? Sounds good hah?
Kona Sea Salt - less sodium than table salt. Kinda looks flaky.
Himalayan Sea Salt - Primordial (I looked it up - it means having existed from the beginning), Ethically Sourced, Artisan Harvested, Sustainable Sourcing (what does all that mean?). Don't know, but it's the "purest salt on earth".
CQ once paid about $25 for a tiny jar of Truffle Salt. She loves it. She said it imparts a woodsy flavor to food (not exactly her words).
I thought that bottle of Yuzu Kosho next to the truffle salt looked interesting. The ingredients are chili pepper, yuzu zest, sea salt and konbu. Checking online I found out that it's a condiment, though I'm still not quite sure what you eat with it. 10 bucks . . . should I try it?
thanks for today

wow, that's some expensive salts!
I wonder if it's worth it.
Thinking the same thing, Les. Too rich for my pocket book. Interesting though...the different kinds of SALT...
I agree, Betty.
I had that at a resturant in Chicago and bought some for home. They used it to top off beef and ahi carpaccio along with some tobiko....yummmmm
Hmmmmm . . . interesting.
That is some expensive salt. Is it saltier than regular salt? I just saw DD said it was good. I believe her more than me.
I wonder, Erick. Someone used to give us salt from Kauai before. Don't know if it was saltier, but I loved the flaky texture.
