My favorite foods and where they came from
Have you ever thought about where all your favorite foods originated? It is such a fascinating
thought that our favorite foods come from all over the world. I did a little research about one of the
foods' origins that was not listed; which is salt. I will share a little background on that one. ”
Salt comes from two main sources: sea water and the sodium chloride
mineral halite (also known as rock salt). Rock salt occurs in vast beds of
sedimentary evaporite minerals that result from the drying up of enclosed
lakes, playas, and seas, http://en.wikipedia.org>History_of_Salt
