I recently had discussions with the manufacturers and distributors of salt to about 80% of the outlets in South Africa.

They had some very interesting information on what they add to the various salts they sell.

It is quite obvious that not all salt is the same.

As soon as I have met with the guys and got all the facts I will post it here and in KOISA.
