This is living seawater, naturally dried to completeness. This is unique among sea salts. Most sea salt is gathered in a way that washes away many of the other sea minerals leaving behind mostly salt. Organic and Kosher certified. It has 20+% other minerals. Compare to Maldon at 2%; Real Salt at 4%; Pink Himalayan at 3% No additives. Organic and kosher certified. People are surprised at how good this tastes. From the unpolluted northeastern corner of the Sea of Cortez where there is no commercial sea traffic and human populations are very low due to about 1 inch of rain a year. When ordering indicate if you want a natural or fine grind. Neither is as finely ground as traditional table salt. If you want it that fine, you can grind it in a blender. It makes an excellent "powder" for popcorn also. Sea Salt from a family-owned business.
