1. Where does salt come from? Salt is primarily found underground in rock form or dissolved in the world's oceans and some lakes. Salt is also found on the surface of ancient evaporated seabeds like the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah and in Death Valley National Park in California. It is produced using three methods: Rock salt mining, solar evaporation, and vacuum evaporation.

2. What is the difference between broth and stock? The basic difference between a stock and a broth is this: a broth isseasoned (with salt) and a stock is not.
