It's cheap and plentyful too!

We go the Sea Salt route. A friend of ours in Hawaii process's sea
salt himself and mails us some when we're out.

Sea Salt is good. But, it's still salt, less concentrated, but still
salt.

I do not know if it less concentrated. Just a few different minerals
tossed
in the mix. I think most salt is really sea salt.

Uh, Bill, if there are "a few different minerals tossed in the mix",
the salt would indeed be less concentrated. And most salt certainly
isn't sea salt. It's mined.

Do not know if more is mined than evaporated. But if you think about it,
all salt is sea salt. But even when mined, it is still disolved and then
dried again in most cases. Very interesting tour was the salt mines near
Saltzburg, Austria just over the border in Germany.- Hide quoted text -

No it's not. I can take you to hundreds of salt mines in the U.S. that
are all mined with conveying equipment not disolved with water. An
interesting side point is that the equipment in the mines is not
rusted, and won't rust unless it's brought out in the environment.

But major underground mines now use a dissolving process. At least the ones
in Europe do. Much cheaper and safer than mining underground.

Major mines do? I can take you to western NY where there are miles
after miles after miles of mines that even go under the Finger Lakes,
NONE use any type of dissolving process. Now, there are some small
domes that they dissolve, but that isn't to claim the salt, it's to
get the salt out of the way so they can use the ensuing cavern for
natural gas storage.
Brine Wells are an old method that isn't used much anymore in the
U.S., although there are wet mines, where there are trapped pockets of
salt already in solution with water that they pump out.
