Is rock salt the same as sea salt or are there major differences I should know about? - #22127

Alexander

I am kinda confused about something that's been on my mind lately. Is rock salt the same as sea salt? I always thought they were interchangeable but. After some discussions, I realized there might be more to it. I started using rock salt in my cooking because a friend said it's healthier, especially for seasoning meats and veggies, but then I saw instructions for using sea salt in a recipe. So, I was like, wait, does that mean they aren’t the same? Like, I read that rock salt is usually mined but sea salt is literally harvested from ocean water! Is it really that different in taste and uses? Sometimes I even use sea salt for health reasons -- like when I've had a sore throat or when I want to make saltwater for a rinse, but it got me thinking -- if they’re not even the same, how should I pick one over the other? And does it really matter for things like cooking or health? I mean, I wanna do what's best for my body and food but I m just not sure. If anybody has thoughts on this or can clear it up, please help!
