Brown Rock Salt, which is also known as grit salt, rock salt or halite, is extracted from seams of rock salt that were formed millennia ago when ancient sea beds dried up and became land. A lot of brown rock salt is mined in the UK with Cheshire being one of the biggest sources. Brown rock salt has many benefits such as:
- It is drier than white salt and is easier to spread.
- It’s cheaper than white salt.
- It has a smaller carbon foot print than white salt.
- It’s mainly British mined.
