i thought this was going to be a plowing thread.

In hindsight, I should've been more specific this time of year

Cracking up. I'm trying my hardest to eliminate salt from my diet for the blood pressure. It seems like it is in everything, not just the obvious like chips, crackers, etc..

I have blood pressure issues too, but we just processed our pigs this past weekend and it got me to thinking about how that would work long term. It takes quite a bit of salt to make a curing brine for bacon and ham. I'm not about to give those up.

Table salt is bad for you. Contains chemicals and caking agents. I used to use Sea Salt for everything and still have a good stock of it and cook with it. But Iodine is something vital we all need and this is why regular table salt became popular as it was iodized. But Himalayan salt has iodine in it naturally. That is what I recently switched to. Your body actually needs sodium. But I cook almost everything from real foods. I will even be learning how to bake our own bread because I do like it and I'm hoping if I make my own I will not have the issues that I have with mass produced breads.


Thanks for the link to that site.

Where do you get the Himalayan salt?

My brother gets it also(for no other reason than it's different so it must make him one of the cool kids, yup he's a douche like that) and is a fan of Whole Foods so you might find it there.

Also available at the same site listed in the first post.

most any store carries himalayan salt these days. check the "natural" section if it's not with the rest of the salt products

I buy mine in 50 lb bags at the feed store. I think it is about 6-8 a bag. it is just plain Mortons salt.

Check or Morton Salt online and their 'curing salts'. I bought ~ 40lbs some time ago and it's in a bucket with Mylar liner
