Damn, look at me being basic using iodized table salt. In the cheap white can from Walmart.

I've heard it somewhere to mix both iodized salt and sea salt. Best of both worlds. 

 

There would be some logic to this. Iodized salt has iodine added to it. This is beneficial. But at the same time, it's refined, and all the trace minerals have been removed. You still get these trace minerals in sea salt, real salt, pink salt, etc. So if you mix them together, you get some trace minerals, and the iodine. 

Morton's table salt has dextrose in it as an anti-caking agent, but it's still 99% sodium chloride so that dextrose is pretty trivial.

I started using Jacobsen's flake salt mined off of the Oregon coast, after reading it tested the lowest in lead than any other salt. Their other salts are from the Mediterranean, but the flaked one is from Oregon.  Good stuff!  Before learning of them, I used Redmond's

I quite like the Celtic sea salt I got!
Noticeably nicer taste compared to the general "sea salt" in the super market.
