China's edible salt mainly comes from

The edible salt in China mainly comes from well salt.

Well salt is extracted from underground by drilling, and Yunnan-Guichuan area in China is an important well salt producing area. China eats well salt, and Zigong, Sichuan is the most famous. Zigong well salt is a kind of salt with a long history, which was developed and utilized as early as 2000 years ago in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Well salt contains all kinds of natural mineral elements, has the unique flavor of ancient traditions, and can also be used to make salted vegetables, which is also a very good choice for China people to buy salt.

Sichuan local chefs like cooking with this salt very much, so they also created salt-assisted dishes. If you have the chance to buy this salt, you can buy it and try it at home. It tastes absolutely the same.

Genesis of well salt:

1. Seawater evaporation: One of the main causes of well salt production is the evaporation process of seawater in nature. When the water in seawater gradually evaporates, the dissolved salt is concentrated and precipitated to form well salt.

2. Dissolution of rock salt: Rock salt refers to the rock composed of salt minerals, and it is also one of the important sources of salt formation in the well. When rock salt is affected by groundwater or crustal movement, it dissolves and undergoes complex physical and chemical reactions, and finally forms well salt.

3. High-temperature hydrothermal deposition: High-temperature hydrothermal solution refers to high-temperature and high-pressure hot water solution formed in the deep crust. When the high-temperature hydrothermal solution is rich in salt, well salt will be formed after cooling and precipitation.
