I got turned on to "gourmet" salt when I visited L.A. a couple of years ago and was presented with salt choices at our host's table. I went back to
Eugene and found Celtic Sea Salt which I find to be delicious and evidently has some mineral health benefits (according to them). I sent some back to
L.A. to the salt gourmand and he loved it. I doubt seriously that it's available here, but I did find it tasted different. It is grey in color and
somewhat damp. You keep it uncovered (which could be a problem in our dusty region) because "it is living" and to cover it tightly kills whatever it
is that is living in there ...

It's alive? Your table salt is alive? Can you get RAID down there?

Those salt beds though, were formed from seawater originally--here's a salt mine in Michigan, formed when the ocean invaded the Michigan Basin eons
ago:

Salt?  Just about any processed food has NaCl levels a little below toxic. Makes you thirsty.

Cuidado!
I have a friend that calls this "Sal con miados", salt with pee, grain salt or sal de grano when used for beer drinking.
He's theory is that since you take the the salt with your fingers and put it on top of the beer can, after a few beers you have to go pee, then you
come back and get another beer and of course take some salt with your fingers again, well it now becomes "Sal con miados"

That looks like "Sal con judiciales."
