And then they add the chemicals.

So it really isn't, it's very far from its original state and has been completely processed and denatured and adulterated.

Yes, I would say because a salt is, I mean, if you have a look at it through a microscope, it's sacred geometry.

Some of them are different.

There's the beautiful mold in which it comes in a pyramid shape.

Most salt is a very cubed shape and very, very sharp corners.

So if it's in a packet, then it could nick the packet and have…

Where we're at now with the oceans, there are several university studies that have tested 90% to 95% of sea salts have been tested with microplastic in them.

Wow.

If you think about it, there are these islands of plastic in the oceans.

Wow.

and whatever you draw up from the oceans into salt pans in order to create salt, whatever is in there is in there and plastic is one of them.

I mean it's quite crazy how prevalent it has become in our lives.

Plastic is so useful and yet we're not eating our packaging which is completely crazy.

And in fact, as far as I can tell, and as far as my research in the US, all other grinders have a plastic or a polycarb mechanism.

And so those are plastic.

And when you grind them, they've got a very...

crunchy um sound to them and that's because the salt is actually wearing away the teeth so when you first if you were to buy a plastic grinder the first um grind the salt would be quite fine but by the end of the bottle they would be coarse because the plastic teeth have gone into your food and you've gone and eaten it and then you throw it away and go buy another one

So Oryx Desert Salts has been spearheading and trailblazing a grinding mechanism that has ceramic.

So that doesn't wear out, doesn't grind into your food, and it's refillable and reusable.
