I don't want any grittiness on my food either. Have you watched the
chef's on the cooking show competitions. Most are encouraged to salt
as they are cooking or at the end of cooking, which usually dissolves
the grittiness, and supposedly creates a better finished dish for
presentation.

One thing I noticed on the Real Salt information was that it is says
"(including natural iodine..) Adding iodine is in some other salts is
nice for goiter control, but who is to say how much goiter-control
differs from person to person. One lump for all sizes; size fits
all. That's the mantra.
