I’m thinking of the type of thing you wished you knew sooner. But if you have other advice, please share!

I’m a couple months (officially) into running a videography business and would love to use this post to share and help each other.

My Advice: I was into videography and doing it as a side hustle for almost a year but kept delaying registering myself as a business. If I could go back, I’d do that sooner.

In India, Arabian Sea salt is the most common option. People following Satvik diet (on some days) use any rock salt, and Himalayan Rock salt is another common option in my area. It has lower sodium, so some people also use it for health purpose. It is pink in colour.

I also use Black Salt (I don't know its source) when I have to eat fruits. It has a slightly sour flavour and some vegans use it to give their dishes "egg" like taste.

Interesting, I’ll see if I can find Arabian Sea salt here. Sometimes I think I can tell the difference between regional sea salts but it might also just be placebo. The Himalayan one too because it’s pink.

I’m pretty sure color why they use the Hawaiian black salt but it does taste different. I’m quite fond of it. Looks like ours are similar in that they (probably?) derive their color from charcoal. Wikipedia says Indian black salt has a sulfurous taste and smell— that’s definitely new to me and explains the egg flavor. Sulfur isn’t hugely loved here but some traditionally “unwanted” flavors can make for great dishes, and some people online indicated they like it for acidic or Indian foods. Can’t lie, this is extremely interesting, I hope a store nearby has some. If not I’ll order online.

This will probably be the neatest thing I learn about today. Damn I love salt, now I do want to get into recreational salt tasting
