"Salt of the Earth"

Salt has become a gourmet food item. Two of the stores I frequent, Whole Foods and Nugget, have big displays of various kinds of salt and salt blocks. Some have heavier grains, like Kosher salt, and other are finer and have flavors added. Two of the ones I have tried are wonderful, "gris" (grey salt) which is fine and very favorable, and another has blood orange bits added, terrific on seafood.

These are pricey so don't use them to salt the water for pasta, but rather add a very little at the end just before serving. Delicious - remember a little goes a long way as we should try to limit our salt intake!
