History of Salt

Salt has played a huge part in our history, culture, and language. There are many sources for learning about the history of salt, but we recommend reading the book "Salt: A World History" by Mark Kurlansky. Even if you aren't in the salt business, you'll enjoy it...

The Salt Institute website is an exhaustive resource for all things salt-related. We highly recommend their website. It has unbiased information on the nutritional value of salt, the salt industry, uses for salt, and the history of salt. It even has a map showing all the salt deposits in North America, which we found interesting.
