Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food?

  I’m sure it’s possible, but take that with a grain of salt

  You definitely can but its not food-grade so perhaps take that into account.

  I mean theoretically you can grind up whatever you like and season your food, at least once.

    “Bring out the uranium grater and don’t stop grating until I say ‘when.’”

  I’m sorry everyone is advising against it. If you need a pink salt itch scratched they make big blocks of salt the size of cutting boards to season steak (or something I guess, I think it’s a solution looking for a problem) but they are food grade so buy five of those, stack them into a cube (bottom face is the table) and put a flashlight inside the box and go to town!

  Sure, but it is probably contaminated with a variety of heavy metals.

    Someone gave me one as a gift when I lived on the Florida coast and I had to throw it away because it wicks up all the humidity and then leaks it onto whatever surface you have it on. Shit electronics sitting in puddles didn’t seem like a good idea.

  Yes. They’re also delicious to lick.

  Follow up question: how does one process mined salt?

  Only if you make a video of it and share it with us.

  Try it, and report back. If you don’t report back, we’ll assume you’re dead, and divide up your collection of POGs.

  If you have no other options I’m sure it would be fine if you wash off the outer part just for safety. In reality I bet its cheaper to buy pink salt of the jungle site.

    It’s salt. What sort of pathogen is capable of living on it to begin with?

    • TIEPilot@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨seconds⁩ ago

      Lead contamination or other heavy metals (chromium freaks me out). I wasn’t too worried about pathogens/virus/bacteria/fungus as like you say its salt. Its been a preservative for 1000’s of years :)

  Couldn’t you just lick it and find out?
