MODERN DISTRIBUTION

In centuries past, the customer who came to the marketplace to buy salt had to bring his own receptacle, or the dirty grey crystals were dumped out of a sidebag or straw basket loose into his hands, leaving him to get his salt home as best he could.

Today, you can find white salt in almost any kind of container, from the 40 kg paper or plastic bags for industrial users, through the 10 kg bag from which you sprinkle salt on your icy sidewalk, and the 1 kg slim, for your home, to the tiny 1 gm individual packets provided with your meal on any modern airline. Modern production, distribution and packaging methods put together ensure that there is a grade, grain, and size of salt for every use, available whenever and wherever it is needed.
