We just finished a 26-ounce container of salt. I thought it was the first we'd bought here, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude thinks it's the second; if the latter, we're using about 3 ounces of salt/year.
Obviously, that vastly underestimates our salt consumption, because a lot of it is in prepared foods of various sorts: soy sauce, canned vegetables, snacks, salami, and so on. We've also used a little bit of some finely ground sea salt, which I bought and then discovered tasted just like the Morton's in the red canister, and we don't eat all our meals at home. Nonetheless, I find it an interesting datum, and not only because of a recent online discussion in which someone said that they'd never used up a canister of salt.
Maybe I'll buy iodized salt next time. Or kosher salt. Or both: I want to be able to refill the salt shaker when we use up the sea salt.
