You are always the educator, Kirsten, and for that I am so grateful. In one of your books you mention the salt/salary connection: I tell that tale every time I teach fermenting! And a marvelous new-to-me word: saliculture. How many folks unconsciously pick up the shaker and spread the precious grains without even a thought of the history. Thanks for the link to the book in your online bookstore: the book Salt will be ordered! Such a nice travel experience to Portugal you shared as well.

Thanks for sharing this link. I think it is good for all of us to have a lot of resources to make the decisions that make sense to each of us.

Thanks for this information. It is important for salt choices regarding everyday cooking and eating as well as fermentation.
