Himalayan salt

[The best and greatest]

What does everyone think of Himalayan Salt? Just bullshit hype or have any kiwis noticed a difference?

 

[Franjevina]

It's salty .

 

[JULAY]

It actually comes from Pakistan. It's Paki salt.

 

[a terminal posture]

Its bullshit. All salt tastes the same. Also, fuck kosher salt and Alton Brown for starting the kosher salt flame.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

Thought that was for soaking feet. Didn't know people ate it. Huh.

People try to sell it off as a healthier alternative. Mostly just a marketing scam a-la "what if we made it pink?". Sea salt is good enough, and I think has more iodine, which you need.

I'll have to try that. I cold smoke all kinds of stuff, especially different kinds of cheese. And jalepenos! Never thought about smoking salt. But then again, I use little to no salt in my cooking anyway, even having the full array of pink, sea, kosher salt, etc.

You can do it with other spices. Some take it better than others like Paprika. Also, it makes a good substitute to liquid smoke.

I've yet to see Himalayan salt be sold unaccompanied by a Non GMO label, so it is completely true that the people selling these are neck-deep in their own bullshit.

 

[MembersSchoolPizza]

It's a scam. It's just fucking salt. Worse, it's polluted salt.

I've heard people swear up and down it tastes different. If it does, the difference is so subtle I can't detect it. If you can, you're using too damned much salt in your food.

I heard that it dehydrates you more than normal salt due to containing calcium chloride or some shit.

 

[Coffee Shits]

It looks nice.

And remember, the first bite is with the eye.

 

[Kuchipatchi]

I prefer sea salt because of the larger chunks than regular table salt. I'm not sure if I should even try it to be fair because that's just the same as buying into the hype, I'll be giving the companies money for fad salt.

I'll try the smoked salt if I ever come across it, I like smoky flavours. What kinds of food would go nicely with it? Meat? Chips? Chicken nuggets?

 

[keyboredsm4shthe2nd]

it looks nice, if you warn people ahead of time.

 

[Scratch This Nut]

I know less than nothing about salt. Which means that every time I see salt I actually lose knowledge about other things.

 

[Nanook Rubs It]

It looks neat and I found a 5 lb plastic jar of it for like $5 at a secondhand shop and am gonna use it for like a year.

 

[Vlinny-kun]

The pink stuff is fine but black himalayan salt taste like pure shit like it's infused with methane or some shit.

All salt tastes the same.

There is a subtle diffrence between salts. Some more than others. Personally nothing will beat sea salt.

You're thinking of Epsom salt.

I've never eaten Himalayan salt, but we have a tealight candle holder made out of it.
It makes this pleasant reddish glow.

That black salt is actually widely used in the 2020 Superpower nation, it's meant to taste like that because it has sulphur in it. Vegans can't shut up about how it can substitute eggs in their recipes, add "umami" punch to foods, and about its marginally interesting benefits.
