It’s actually the expiration date of the plastic container.
I wish it were the expiration date for Earth.
I kinda like Earth.
It’s the only planet that has kittens.
If you dump it on your garden it’ll make your vegetables salty so that when you eat them you don’t have to add seasoning. The more salt you put the better the plants will do. My grandpa Ahmed used to tell me about that trick when I was a kid and his yard was the most wonderful desert.
it has electrolytes
I’ve got electric lights in my house too but you don’t see me giving them to plants do you?
Me in my yard, wondering why I wasn’t invited to the plant rave:
It’s what plants crave.
Best by != Expiration
Yup. When it expires, its done for. When it’s past the best by date, it just means it’s best days are over. Much like my own.
I used to have a pre-filled salt grinder that said “freshly ground for fresher taste”. I always thought “you don’t understand how rocks work” whenever I would read it.
Surface area is a thing. You can use differently grounds salt for different effects.
Sure, but that has nothing to do with being freshly ground resulting in a fresher taste. You can buy different grinds of salt.
You’re entirely right, I just wanted to interject some nuance.
c’mon, fam, you were SPRINKLING some nuance…
Freshly ground nuance.
Maybe it’s like a bottle of water and the expiration is for the plastic
I wonder if that’s because of the microplastic contamination more than the actual salt lol
