Asking here because we don’t really have a cooking community lol

I’ve tried my share of salt; Himalayan pink, Persian blue, even smoked salt which gives off a nice smoky smell

But they all taste the same. It’s salt.

Am I missing something or is their value solely predicated on the geographical origins + unique colors?

    If you’re in Europe the salt you put in your dishwasher is the exact same as table salt, but it’s pure. I don’t plan on trying it but technically it’s edible.

      Never thought of that. I always assumed that dishwasher salt is just a name for some specific thing, but it actually is just a salt. Thanks for the info!

        Yeah, I learned that just a few weeks ago lol. Salt is a surfactant, meaning it makes water more slippery which avoids deposits and those streaks you see sometimes when you wash stuff by hand.
