Actually it's usually not mined, kosher salt is more often solar salt,
evaporated and purified sea water, but it could be mined too... but
mined salt is first converted back to sea water anyway buy making it
into a slurry, and then the impurities are precipitated out, same as
all table salt. ALL salt is sea salt, Sqwertz ignoranus! All salt
mines were once huge bodies of saline water that eons ago dried up.

Mined salt IS sea salt, Sqwertz ignorANUS... ALL salt comes from seas.

Japan probably gets its salt by evaporation of sea water, but it's
purified, it's not raw "sea salt". Salt labeled "sea salt" is raw
salt, unprocessed salt, its not refined.

Yep, Japan evaporates sea water, same as many nations, even the US uses
this system in part.

You're truly mentally retarded, Sqwertz... mammals don't come with
lower IQs than yours... any one of my cats possess triple your IQ, two
in particular possess an IQ at least six times higher than yours... and
they're all way more literate than you.

Sqwertz's IQ is threatened by that of a stalk of celery... a kohlrabi
possesses more functioning brain cells than a Sqwertz.
