Salt blocks are made by extracting salt from salt mines or salt pans. The extracted salt is then purified, crystallized, and compressed under high pressure to form solid blocks. These blocks are usually used for cooking, grilling, or as a serving platter for food.

Blue blocks contain NaCl (table salt), Cobalt and Iodine. Red blocks contain Salt, Iron and Iodine. Brown blocks contain Salt, Cobalt, Iodine, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Molybdenum, Potassium and Magnesium (guessing on the last two minerals) Black blocks contain everything that the brown blocks do, plus Selenium.
