That sea salt you bought probably has microplastics in it

[ficuswhisperer]

Then you end up with artisanal plastics, made from handmade, all natural, and gluten free polymers.

Dammit and all this time I thinking this stuff’s the blessed kind. Oh well, blessed or not kosher salt has THE best texture for many of my culinary applications – kind of like spring graupel.

Um, yeah… pre-ground black pepper is full of spider bits.

[MaiqTheLiar]

I like plastics alright… but they go right through me.

Ok, maybe it’s not stated explicitly, and maybe I’m reading something into it that’s not there, but the tone of the post is most certainly sarcastic.

Tell me how else to interpret,

“Microplastic: it’s what’s for dinner!”, and
“It’s OK, though, because we can eat 37 of these a year without incident, or so they say.”

How do you get your “iodide, a necessary nutrient?”

[Grey_Devil]

Not sure if you were being sarcastic lol I don’t worry about it but checking for sources in Iodine i see that milk, fish, eggs, certain vegetables, white bread, cheese, etc. are all good sources. These are all ingredients i consume regularly so it’s not a concern

[sarc]

I’m guessing pure liquid foods come with extra special odds and ends

@Cunk

I thought the term meant it came from salt flats left over from ancient seas.

That’s usually called rock salt, and it’s cheaper than sea salt. It’s what I buy.

Now we find out it is probably safer than sea salt too

[AgentMinty]

MMMM…spider bits.

@sarc

…but I do like my black pepper

…which is allowed, by law, to contain a certain amount a rat feces (apparently it is simply too difficult to tell the difference to get it all out).

@TheGreatParis

That plastic has probably been eaten and digested already, too.

LOL! Of course, everything else has too!

[anon55609254]

@elmarkitse

I like the theory of ‘ha ha you apex predator, we’re absorbing the plastic we put into the environment’ kind of stuff, but the quantities here seem pretty small.

You might want to look at this study as a harbinger of more bad news ahead; i.e., plastic microparticles everywhere. E.g., plastic in rocks, plastic in other food.

[sarc]

that’s what I’ve learnt
that’s why everything has child-proof seals

@Abiatha_Swelter

And organic.

Good news then! As plastic is usually carbon-based it is indeed organic!

[jctepl]

just to nit pick, pickling salt is also much finer than the other two you listed

[jctepl]

I did always like the “Kosher for Passover” that graces the boxes once a year

[taj]

Thank you for that. I was thinking it was about time I looked up the difference myself. And now I’ve discovered a new website to lose time in.
