    Who knew?

    IT STARTS WITH 4-MILLION-YEAR-OLD SALT
    We wanted to share a little more about the origins of our Salina Crystal Salt, the base for the savory salt blend.

    Hundreds of feet under the streets of Syracuse, New York, lies a massive salt deposit that’s over four million years old and left behind by an ancient ocean. Father–daughter duo David and Libby of Syracuse Salt Company pump salt water from this aquifer below the surface to make our exceptional Salina Crystal Salt.

    Historically, Syracuse has been an epicenter of salt production; in the 1800s it was known as the “Salt City.” Salt was harvested from the natural salt springs that flowed into Onondaga Lake, and it was said that the streets were paved with salt. Flash forward two centuries to David digging 300 feet down, crossing his fingers, and pulling up pristine water that was 13% salt — that’s three times the salinity of ocean water. Syracuse Salt Company was born.

    Once the salt water is pulled from the ground, David and Libby gently evaporate the water to form crunchy cubic towers. Then the salt is scooped by hand, laid out on trays to dry and carefully sifted to preserve its crystalline structure and crunchy texture. This is a big departure from how mineral salt is typically mined, with heavy industrial machinery and little attention given to preserving the salt shape.

    I thought it was widely known. Must be a CNY thing.

    It happens on anyone that is actually logged in under their user name and have the dark mode default theme. Desktop or mobile probably does not matter.

    We have some of their garlic salt. It's fantastic.

    News you can use right here.

    Lifetime of clambakes on the North Coast, but never in my life have we had salt potatoes. That’s not a bad thing mind you. Our Clambakes bake the potatoes in the stack so this separate tater may not work.

    That said, these sound like a fucking desert. In.

    It’s a TGR thing, almost all of us use the default ‘new’ blue background, and not white.
    It’s TRADITION, dammit!

    I know this has been covered, but search function failing me.

    Looking for bootfitter to align my 7 yo son's boots and make orthotics. Seriously knock kneed (genu valgum.) Looking for in the upstates area (within 2 hour of Lake George, for example) with knowledge of aligning young kids.

    I'm guessing orthotics and medial sole canting. Challenge is that placing a medial cant shim under right boot prevented right knee from internal rotating with flexion.

    Tyx

    fact.

    growing up I think we had salt potatoes for just about every type of gathering imaginable; bbqs, family reunions, graduation parties, bdays

    I don't want to start anything here, but I wonder where the salt potato borders are--because I lived in the eastern and western part of Upstate and never heard of them. Or the salt mines.

    The whole Great Lakes region is littered with salt, above ground and under it. Fun fact, Cargill has a massive salt mine under Lake Erie that goes from Cleveland's lakefront and miles in every direction.

    That said, I've never heard of salt potatoes either, but I am intrigued.

    I don't recall them being a thing with the Pollocks and Eyetalians in Buffalo, so maybe Batavia is the western boundary? And I never heard of them in Cooperstown to the east. Buffalo had a lot of salt, but it was used mostly on the roads.
