There are two types of salt. The types are sea salt and mined salt. Much of the salt produced in the United States is from mines. When the salt is taken from the mines it is cleaned and processed for use. Lye is used to clean the salt. Sea salt comes from the ocean. Beds of salt water are made and then allowed to evaporate leaving the salt behind. The salt is then cut into bricks to be sold. Sea salt comes in different colors depending on where it is produced.
