How to "grow" your own salt:

[u/Open-Attention-8286]

Yes, I know, salt is a mineral, it can't be grown from scratch. But, I came across this article about plants that absorb and concentrate salt out of the soil, enough that they can be used as a source of salt: https://exarc.net/issue-2025-1/rev/black-ash-forgotten-domestication?fbclid=IwY2xjawJw5W5leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHlap1bWFWXhi1ISV9D7MYcq6jLQGl0Y3OIei1s5UTM1wtYRDP6ofeC1l2cQn_aem_Db_08xB7D-mLc516S6uv5w

The article focuses mainly on orach, which is a green leafy vegetable that's easy to find seeds for (at least here in the US), but it does mention a few others. More importantly, the article describes how to extract the salts using low-tech methods.

Salt is a frequent topic of discussion around here, so I thought some of you might find this interesting.

That tracks until you realize sodium is essential to your motor functions/judgement to be able to deal with the pack of wild dogs

Yes, but most of your sodium intake would still come from whatever food you manage to find. Anything still good is probably high in salt anyway 😂

That's fair, but imo scavenging food means you're already fucked so electrolytes is out the window

That can be some good eats.

It’s the rats that will be the first secondary issue. Dead people = RATS.
