pink salt
The "salt" they've been using to keep ice off our sidewalks looks pink.
Does anyone know what it is? |

I guess the difference is that this year they hired the company that plows the streets to also shovel the sidewalk, so there is salt where there never was salt before. It actually costs more to do the sidewalks than the street. Not surprising but surprising the Board spent the money. The pres said we are getting older, and that is true. The community sidewalks but he actually went more than 1/3 of the way up my personal sidewalk, even opening the gate to do it. Cindy Hamilton Supposed to snow here quite a bit on Thursday and Friday. |

We don't have sidewalks where I live, but I had to remove 8+ inches of snow from 100 feet of driveway yesterday. I was plumb tuckered out when I finished. Afterward, the county pushed a bunch of their snow into my driveway, so I'll have a little more to do. Luckily, it's warming up. Last night was our coldest night this winter: -4 F. By Tuesday, we'll be about average for this time of year with a daytime high of 39 F. I suspect the snow we got Monday night is moving on to your area for Thursday/Friday. Cindy Hamilton |

As far as the supposed health benefits, it's salt. 2% of other minerals doesn't mean much in the quantities I use salt. |

Cindy Hamilton We got a good 7 inches here with -20C (your -4F )ith 30km/h winds. About 170 feet of sidewalk and 800? sq ft of driveway. The little YT624 earns it's keep on days like that. Being on a corner I get a lot of snow dropped in front by the plough. so I blow about 60 feet of the street (over a foot deep - in places 2 -) to clear the storm drain and make it possible to park on the street - not to mention to keep the NEXT plough from putting it all into my driveway. Just about an hour and over a gallon of gas. Won't likely get above freezing for another week, and we are expecting another 8-10 inches by then. |

Sodium chloride is not friendly to concrete but OK on drive. They may color calcium chloride for walks to differentiate it. Someone also gave us a pink table salt from some exotic region. Not for melting snow unless you want to spend a bundle. |

I was just reading about the mowers and tractors that put liquid in the tires for extra weight and traction. Beet juice was mentioned. Calcium carbonate is a common additive to tractor tires to prevent the water from freezing in cold climes. |

I was out in the field with an elderly Minneapolis-Moline puling a drag harrow to break up the horse manure when I turned too tight and punctured a tire. The tire was filled with a calcium chloride solution. I had to drive the tractor back to the barn with the tire throwing a rooster tail of chloride on every rotation. The stuff neither tastes or feels very nice. That tractor was a piece of work. It had a fuel system problem so you were in a cloud of gasoline fumes all the time. Good for a little buzz. I don't know why it never caught fire. |

I don't think the Taliban are really involved but there is a very real ****ing contest about the salt. https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt...ome-from-india The Pakis are retaliating over India registering Basmati rice for geographical indications. Considering both are nuclear capable WWIII may start over salt and rice... One thing is for sure; Himalayan pink salt isn't lovingly mined in the Himalayas by Tibetan Buddhist monks and shipped out on yaks. |

Andy Generally the pink ice melter is a combination of magnesium chloride and Calcium Chloride . It is effective to -25F and has a residual effect (continues to keep ice from forming for some time) It is generally made with Calcium Magnesium Acetate as an additive. It is safe on concrete and is less corrosive than sodium chloride - and actually inhibits corrosion caused by sodium. |

Looking at the salt is says, "Evolution Salt Co. Gourmet Pink Himalayan Salt" contains no iodine or anti-caking agent. Most table salt in the US has iodine added. Supposedly when it was introduced it raised the median IQ mostly from bumping the low end of the scale where nutritional deficiencies are more common. Iodide is sprayed on the salt, dextrose is added to stabilize it, and anti-caking agents are added so you salt shaker doesn't stop working. People buying gourmet salt are seldom at risk of dietary deficiencies. I eat enough fish, dairy, and eggs to meet my iodine requirements. |

lowbrowwoman, the Endlessly Driveling Senile Gossip
On Sun, 21 Feb 2021 10:31:13 -0700, lowbrowwoman, the endlessly driveling,

Andy Thanks, but I meant what is the point of Himalayan pink salt. Purest finest quality hand-mined Pink Salt on earth is mined from deep under the pristine Himalayan Mountains formed in the Jurassic era. Himalayan Pink Salt is the perfect addition to any meal like seasoning Meats, Grilled Chicken, Fish, Ribs, Vegetables, Salads, Pasta, Egg, soups, Drinks, Stews and is also a flavorful to use for Baking. Himalayan Pink Salt has over 80+ trace minerals and electrolytes. The darker the color the more minerals are in the salt so Wild Pink truly is nature's way of replenishing your body!You can also use it to create homemade body scrubs and bath soaks, and you may have seen or own a Himalayan salt lamp made from pink Himalayan salt. Historically, the people of the Himalayas have used this versatile salt to preserve meat and fish. Himalayan salt is well known for its amazing health benefits because of minerals and trace elements essential to our health and wellbeing. Himalayan Pink Salt has a Smooth, Unassuming Flavor, even more subtle than high-quality Sea Salts. It is a must have staple in the healthy kitchen. It is Non-GMO and does not contain any MSG, Soy, Gluten, Dairy, or anti-caking agents. $11 for two pounds. Does it make the food taste different from regular salt? Generally the pink ice melter is a combination of magnesium chloride and Calcium Chloride . It is effective to -25F and has a residual effect (continues to keep ice from forming for some time) It is generally made with Calcium Magnesium Acetate as an additive. It is safe on concrete and is less corrosive than sodium chloride - and actually inhibits corrosion caused by sodium. All the salt was gone today. I don't think it rained. But it was above freezing and the snow had an almost invisible layer of ice, I guess, on it, because when I stood on it, it held my weight without any cracking at all. |

Someone with extremely sensitive taste buds might be able to detect the minerals. (I can taste the iodide in regular table salt, but only to the extent that un-iodized salt tastes a little flat.) Mostly it's a function of grain size and shape. Coarse salt provides a burst of saltiness as you crunch on a crystal. Cindy Hamilton |

Considering both are nuclear capable WWIII may start over salt and rice... One thing is for sure; Himalayan pink salt isn't lovingly mined in the Himalayas by Tibetan Buddhist monks and shipped out on yaks. It isn't? You shattered one of my long held beliefs! 8-( -- Tekkie |
