Salt for commerce comes from rock beds and brine
The salt of commerce is mined from rock salt beds and extracted from salt water brines. Artificial brines use fresh water flowing over salt beds. The largest salt beds in the United States are on Avery Island, Louisiana. Other major beds are in Michigan, New York, Kansas, Louisiana, Texas, and California. California uses sea salt and Utah uses Great Salt Lake. Cape Nordkyn is the northernmost point of Europe, Cape Tarifa the southernmost, Cape da Roca the westernmost, and a point near the Ural Mountains the easternmost.
