Introduction

History of Sea Salt

Chemical composition

Though sea salts vary largely, their general composition is 98% NaCl and 2% of various minerals (generally magnesium, iron, calcium, potassium etc.)

Sea Salt Mining - In our Wikipedia page, we will expand on the various methods of Sea Salt harvesting. Through further research, we hope to find the various types of

Once sea salt has been retrieved from mines or oceans, there are three common methods used to harvest them: vacuum drying, sun drying and salt mining.

In vacuum drying, the solution of salt is washed with chemicals such as soda ash and cuastic soda. This results in the aggregation of minerals and salt; the water is then evaporated leaving a sea salt mixture behind.

The concept behind sun drying is that the heat and wind will slowly evaporate the water out of the sea salt, leaving a highly concentrated solution of sea salt. After some time, this salt would crystalize and be collected. Sun drying of sea salt was historically done in Gueranda, France along the Brittany Coast.

Sea Salt vs. Table Salt? Any difference?

Table salt is missing the minerals that are found in Sea Salt which were likely evaporated from rapid heating of the salt solution.
