Salts

The tasting evaluations will be done separately so you can search it properly (and so the amount of information isn't overwhelming).

1. Kosher salt
White, flaky, and dissolved fairly quickly. Didn't taste immensely salty, but did give a little crunch and texture.

2. Iodized salt

It's table salt. Please don't ask me how the flavor is on that one. It's salty. End of story.

3. Balien Fine Sea Salt

Finely ground Balien (French) brand sea salt. It's salty, not as much as the iodized, but about the same consistency and grain.

4. Balien Coarse Sea Salt

Coarse crystal Balien brand sea salt. Again, salty but with a little texture (like the kosher).

5. Smoked Sea Salt

Obviously a black salt. Heavy smoked flavor, with a deep nuttiness. It's a bit sweet on the back end, and it smells like woodsmoke. I love this one.

6. Smoked Sea Salt

A brownish, sort of wet salt (Texture is a bit like brown sugar). Again, a fairly nutty, smoky kind of salt. It has hints of hicory, and is very smooth. This one happens to be my favorite.

7. Smoked Hawaiian Pink Salt

Coarse grain, with chile chunks in it. Smoky aroma and taste, with a bit of spicyness to it.

8. Himalayan Pink Salt

A pink salt with mineral specks in it. Light in flavor and kind of dissapointing. You get what you pay for though, and this one was kind of cheap.

9. Hawaiian Pink Salt

Coarse granules, larger than the Himalayan was. It's less harsh than some of the others, and fairly pretty (picture doesn't do it justice).

10. Hawaiian Volcanic Pink Salt

Literally chunks of salt broken off a larger crystal. This one is pinker in reality. It tastes smooth, it's a fairly light taste, and it's got strong hints of minerals. I like this one quite a bit too.
