What is the source of salt?

Answer 1

Actually, there are two sources of salt. One is sea salt and the other comes from mines. Your everyday table salt is mined salt. Mined salt is dug out, cleaned, bleached, and processed for human use. Sea salt comes from the sea through the natural process of evaporation. Salt beds are made with sea water and through time the water evaporates leaving the salt.

It can also be bought as a fine grain salt to salt crystals.
