No, you can't eat salt mix. 
I can recommend Penzey's Spices as an exellent place to stock up your spice cabinet -- including salt and pepper. Top, top quality at prices way lower than the stale stuff in the grocery store.

When times are tough I make salt creep soup. If I have any extra skimmate I usually drip some on old bread I find in the trash behind Ralph's. Damsels can also be a tasty treat...find a hot muffler to cook them on so that you dont have to waste so much money turning on the stove.
Saves money and tastes great!! :lol:
For those who laugh, there are several places in the world where they do mine ocean salt and use it for cooking etc.
One place I've actually seen is down in Baja on the Sea of Cortez. They have an area that they flood with ocean water, then block it off and let it dry. They then scrape up the salt residue left and use it.
Supposedly that's the new thing in gormet cooking is to use salt derived from the ocean.

Gandhi walked to the ocean to make salt. I think it was a bit more natural than our salt mixes though.
But I thought ASW was supposed to mimic NSW? Or at least that's what they keep telling us.
The trace elements are in the NSW, maybe not at some of the high levels that ASW has, like for calicum and maginisum.
Wonder if I could use my salt creep as I DO USE NSW.

Well, ALL salt is sea salt, some is just mined from old salt deposits that are now land areas.
It's not the new thing in cooking to evaporate sea water to make salt, it's the very oldest thing!
I would consider using food grade evaporated sea salt for my tank, but not vice-versa, since synthetic salt mixes use stuff that was never in the ocean to create an artificial version... much of which is probably very bad to consume.
