I would think the salt would have to be sterilized if it came from most coastal waters off the U.S.&nbsp; Santa Barbara waters sure have a lot of bacteria present.<br>

Here is an interesting photo and comentary of the salt flats in the Bay<br>
area. I've passed by these many times in my travels north. Pretty<br>
exposed and raw. They must sterilize it somehow after it is harvested. ~<br>

Subject: -SBOrgGdn- making salt<br>
<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
Has anyone ever made salt from ocean water? Is it safe to do? The latest<br>
issue of Sunset Magazine has (believe it or not) extensive coverage of a<br>
One Block Diet experiment. They mention making salt, and say that it<br>
takes 3 quarts of sea water to make 1/2 cup of salt. <br>
I'm intrigued and would like to try it. I assume you just go get some<br>
ocean and let it evaporate, probably in a glass baking dish. But if<br>
anyone has any experience with this I'd love to hear about it. We could<br>
have a salt person at each foodshare, keeping us all supplied.<br>
<br>
The Sunset article and related info can be linked at http://<br>
oneblockdiet.<WBR>sunset.com/<WBR>. Hats off to them for going all rad on us.<br>
<br>
Owen<br>
