What's the difference between sea salt and regular salt?
How do they extract sea salt from the sea and how does this manufacturing process differ from the normal salt variety?
Answers:
I don't know how they extract it from the sea, and not all sea salts are the same. Some of the "cheaper" brands of sea salt are basically the same as table salt, just sodium chloride (iodized or not). A good sea salt is generally coarser than table salt (I've seen it in very coarse and fine varieties), and usually has more trace minerals in it. Because it is minimally processed (table salt has all the natural minerals taken out, then iodine added back in), sea salt usually contains a wide variety of minerals in very small amounts (it won't always say on the package either). Some health experts say that this proportion of minerals is exactly in keeping with what our body needs, but I don't know how conclusive those statements are. Taste is the same.
Sea salt has more iodine in it usually, and is coarser.

Flavor and concentration, also sea salt is more coarse. I think they're the same chemically though.
Sea salt comes from the sea table salt comes from other sources like salt mines. Sea salt has idoine in it which is good and if you put sea salt with some distilled water can it will make a mean body cleanser.
Regular salt is more refined
