My hubby likes Hawaiian black salt, or Mediterranean black salt, both of which are sea salts combined with charcoal. I like Pink. Iodized is too bitter for me. LOVE salt on watermelon or cantaloupe. Sea salt is good.

I haven't tried a black salt, I'll have to see if I can find it local. I liked the grey salt and will likely acquire more of it when I use this packet up.

When using a salt shaker I always shake into my hand which allows me to better regulate the quantity I am using.

Always a good plan especially when it's a shaker you haven't used before.

anyone who says "salt is salt" should actually splurge and get one of these https://www.amazon.com/Salt-Journey-8-pack-Collection-Eat-Art/dp/B086WR16R2/ref=sr_1_15?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XoJxHTVXiGmhQQaaOsTe0YPKRfFy8qfGPaarsMNdrKV7eg7OMDd1WTD-t3vxFq7ClJqANROL7EGHW1rVeMYUoVYiN5HwDEe2mideT55FOycn47_5Ojn4uJgCH4F1rNMPt8_UzJybrut6cfLTgRusLBf0jK4yMo_4HvUAGUJnGCRFw9haqD-FfaCeQGE_quOBYGCzgLpRQfwMD5EFdrhyJPzv3AWpj8aOuD3m6JE-evDMs7ZpflF3gh4ivl8ciCKCKxrry3OFhRFRrMVodA40j-D2cXbblZjN6SXHWxn7XhM.aq77cKIhRm2O2AlEYHsNCCZ4PDW7sJmUBRpGsdt70Do&dib_tag=se&keywords=gourmet+salt+sampler&qid=1734050396&sr=8-15 or something similar. We won one, or got one for Christmas or something a few years ago, and there are some very different salts there. From an Indian one that is quite sulfury (and I still haven't found much use for) to ones that are "saltier" per grain than I've ever seen... lots of varieties, and this isn't even the "herbed" stuff.

I needed a consumable gift for a Christmas party, thanks for the tip I am taking a sea salt sampler from Amazon.

Himalayan pink, French gray… such a delightful read on salt, our essential spice!

I keep “Real Salt” on the table though it rarely gets used because I know how my wife likes food so I generally nail the seasoning. Can’t say I taste any difference but it’s USA sourced and creates a conversation with guests. Bazillion minerals what not.
