I've heard that colored salts are colored by mineral (metallic) impurities, but these visible impurities magically have no effect on the taste. R i i i ght. And in the incredibly chemically complex world of molecular reactions that take place while combining and heating ingredients in different sequences, a super reactive material is going to somehow act exactly the same regardless of the size or uniformity of the particles you're using (e.g. ground salt contains various-sized chunks, all the way down to fine powder)?

I think these "salt is salt" people are desperately trying to appear smarter than everyone.

pink salt promoted as an “alternative” salt that doesn’t cause blood pressure issues
This is just stupid.
