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.

What is salt made out of?

Salt is a mineral. There are two types of salt. Some salt comes from a salt mine and is processed into the salt we buy at the store. The largest salt mine in the world is in Poland. It has a Church, hotel, and hospital and is thousands of years old. The other way we get salt is from the ocean. This is called sea salt and can come in different colors depending on where it is from. Beds of water are made and evaporation is used to get the salt from the ocean. Once there is only salt it is cut into blocks and sold.
