There are two types of salt. Sea salt and mine salt. Sea salt comes from the ocean. The people who produce sea salt have salt beds created along the coast and the water is evaporated from the beds leaving the salt. The salt is then broken into bricks, stacked, and then sold. Sea salt comes in many different colors depending on where it is processed. Mine salt comes from salt mines and is dug out. One of the largest mines in the world is in Poland. This is so big that it has a church, hospital, and other things. When salt is mined it is processed and cleaned through the use chemicals to make it white ( no chemicals are used in sea salt and is better for you). Most of the table salt today is from a salt mine.
