I avoid all sea salt that has any anti-caking additives however benign. Anti-caking additives let the salt flow and not lump up. My least expensive good sea salt is from Frontier Naturals out of Iowa. The fine grind has additives...I get only the coarse version because no anti-caking additives in it. I grind up the coarse in a Vita-Mix blender and keep in a glass jar with a plastic lid. It lumps up without additives but we just deal with it :)
I recently stumbled upon Celtic sea salt...grayish looking...From Eden Foods. In a nice glass jar with plastic lid. Only $4 for lb. Bought some I bought some Himalayan salt for the heck of it. It looks very nice and reddish-pink. Himalayan salt is ancient sea salt from an ancient ocean. Be careful just drinking distilled. It is devoid of minerals you might need. Devoid of calcium and magnesium for sure. Adding sea salt won't do it. Maybe enhanced calcium and magnesium supplementation will.
