——————–

The rock salt comes from a primeval sea in central Germany that dried up about 220 million years ago. Movements of the Earth’s crust buried it deep underground, where it is protected from environmental influences. The salt is mined, mechanically crushed and ground. Rock salt is not dissolved in water, evaporated or refined. Rock salt consists of 84 chemical elements. Natural salt (halite) consists of perfectly geometric, cube-shaped crystals.

Ordinary table salt has nothing in common with natural rock salt. Table salt is a residue of the industrial refining process. It is used as a preservative in the food industry. Only 5% of it reaches store shelves under the familiar name of table salt. Refined table salt, or sodium chloride, is treated with various chemical substances.
