Be more specific, I've no idea what exactly you're asking... but no
"sea salt" is pure NACL... I guarantee your Brittany salt contains
lots of garbage... garbage doesn't evaporate, it's left behind with
all the other elements. Only the H2O evaporates from harvested sea
salt... I'm sure the harvesters pick out the visible turds, tampons,
and condoms but you can bet your bipee small bits remain, but those
are least of the problem, because they cannot pick out the salts of
mercury, cadmium, manganese, etc.

Below is sales hype nonsense for the low IQers...
