I got the tip from a friend to try this salt and was skeptical. My attitude was so far "salt is salt." Convinced me have the various applications. I take it not only to flavor, but also in a foot bath or in the bathtub. Just great! Feels like the sea. Otherwise, the salt has a nice light pink color, is somewhat coarser than normal salt and spices a little stronger. I'll buy it in any case again.
