i asked this question. come on peoples help me out here!!! i have to do this for science class. sheesh. sry lol! You were not specific in your question. Do you mean where can you buy it? Do you mean where people harvest it? Do you mean where did God put it? People mine salt from the oceans, from underground salt mines , from salt pans in the desert, from underground brine wells, from dry lakes. The salt all comes originally from rocks and formations that have salt in them, then the salt is dissolved by water and deposited in the ocean. Salt gets concentrated because pure water evaporates and leaves the salt behind.

Yes and no, it has more minerals than processed table salt but it has relatively low amounts of necessary Iodine. If you plan to replace ALL types of salt in your diet with Sea Salt, then no. But if you still consume salt from sources other than sea salt, then you should be just fine.
