I have a grinder with the stuff in it. Bought it on vacation to make eggs and whatnot.

I tend to use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt for a lot of reasons.

I haven't heard of Himalayan salt before this thread (not surprising bc I'm not exactly on the culinary cutting edge...)

But we have some sea salt that's in a grinder, so it comes out in big chunks, that's nice (depending on the food it's being used on).

I originally got it so I could make "no flour" peanut butter cookies. I still haven't made those cookies yet, but we've used a lot of that sea salt!

Not the first product, and won't be the last, to command a price premium just for being more aesthetically pleasing, I suppose.

I have three big grinder bottles of it in my kitchen. Why? Because they were on discount and I have grown accustomed to "measuring" how much salt I put into my cooking by by counting how many times I "turn" the grinder on such bottles. Of the three grinder bottles I have, one is just salt, one with garlic, and now with pepper corn. If nothing else, I love the convenience of those grinder bottles.
