1458.0. "Rock Salt" by SMC003::WHEELER (Ken) Mon Oct 24 1988 12:33

    
    

    I am looking for "rock salt"......I think it's either Kosher, or
    sea salt.
    
    You see I have this salt mill, similar to a pepper mill that grinds
    a type of rock salt, and I don't know where to buy it.
    
    I am looking for places in the Chelmsford or Acton area for stores.
    
    Thanks in advance for your help!

1458.1Not Acton or Chelmsford, but. . ZONULE::MACONEDon't litter. . . . SPAYMon Oct 24 1988 12:5414
    There's a kitchen store in the Peasant Lane Mall in Nashua, on the
    lower level.  I bought my salt and pepper grinders there.  They
    had the salt in chunks.  
    
    I don't remember the name of the store, but it's more of a gourmet
    type kitchen store.  I just remember it's on the lowere lever, on
    the left if you're walking away from Lechmere's, probably around
    the half way point.

    I, also, have a salt mill and could never find the rock salt to
    put in it.  I finally found some in Acton at Idlewilde Farm.  I'm
    surprised that you would not have tried there.  They have a lot
    of good spices and different kinds of gourmet-type items.
    
1458.4sea saltUSMFG::PJEFFRIESthe best is betterMon Oct 24 1988 14:273
    I think you want sea salt, most of the rock salt that I have used
    is not as clear and white as sea salt which looks more appetizing
    in a grinder.
1458.5sea salt it isBAGELS::BLIZARDWed Nov 16 1988 14:469
    re .4 - yes, you want sea salt. Some rock salt is not even NaCl(!)
            and is generally used for salting sidewalks and streets,
            and in ice-cream makers.
    
            If you live near Acton, and are looking for something
            unusual, there are three places which generally have
            everything: Idylwilde Farms; Joyce Chen (on Rt 2A);
            and Concord Spice and Grain (in Concord on Depot St.)
