Mr potato how do you feel now then 🤔

Made for me

Austin Keyes quite obviously this salt has water in its crystal lattice. About a pentahydrate I’d say. The other, however, appears to be closer to an anhydrous state, roughly a monohydrate if I had to estimate.

@@owo5869 yeah, like the bird poop from France or Italy...

They should get olive oil expert Michael North on!

Hmm, this one tastes like it's 2 years past harvest date. This one... This is canola oil. I'm going to say A is more expensive, even though selling this in Italy would get you garroted.

olive oil expert Gordon ramsay

Or olive expert. They can incorporate olive oils into the episode

I'd fail miserably at that one, it all tastes like shite to me.

Lol

Are there any cannabis dispensaries close to you?

Yeah they all just say it's fire no matter how good or bad

zedoomeloo personally more of a meth kinda guy

😂🤣

Like he (and other exsperts) have said: Sometimes you pay for the package, not the product. Reminds me a bit of holidays: You buy a fancy bottle of olive oil or honey to have when you get home. Then they might have the same quality much cheaper at the super market.

Rule of thumb for this show: The less normal it looks, the more expensive it is. Therefore black salt = very expensive.

In general though you do in fact get what you pay for

@@jflsdknf Generally when I buy salt, I get salt, so I guess that's true.

THIS. Salt is salt. Unless it has been 'flavoured' or has had something added, like smoke or garlic. It has been proven with blind taste tests that you can not taste the difference between salts(unless it's with the texture of course). Particularly when you are just seasoning food with it. People who pay a premium for more expensive salts. Are. Idiots.

I was just strolling through the comments the whole time

the reason is that he is an expert!

Great hairline?

1000th like

Seagull Yeah got to savour it at 0.25x

Hell probably die of hypertension

he explains in the vid 6:26 - 6:28; that packaging plays a role in pricing (you know; just like for instances: you're paying for the _brand_ more instead of the quality for the same product offered at market) and also see this if you want more info about that man over here www.vice.com/en_us/article/vvq7g3/meet-the-man-who-reinvented-salt-in-america

I've seen it happen in another one, but it's fair to say price doesn't equal quality

Bacon expert gets one wrong

This is a condiment lol, stop putting it on to a linear scale. Its like comparing white sugar to brown sugar.

You can't mass produce good mushrooms they're expensive because of the labor it takes to pick them.

@@JumpinBean95 They mass-produce king oysters, potabello, chanterells, and shiitake literally right down the road from me. A huge mushroom farm that operates year round here in the PNW. On top of that I've grown on my own from spores and not only is it extremely easy to do, but super cheap as well.

@@n0isyturtle that's great, i live in Clatsop County but what i meant is like the botton mushrooms where they grow like crazy, you mentioned they're on a farm and most mushrooms need certain things to grow like oysters on spruce. I just don't see a wild mushroom like what we have here in PNW ever being low quality if it's mainly grown in the wild /property. Gotta remember hipsters don't like getting their hands dirty so that's why a 1/4 lb of chantrelles costs 20 bucks here at the coast stores! (It's insane) Question! Do they grow chantrelles year round?

@@JumpinBean95 I was super surprised they actually did, and to boot they distributed them to the local Safeway. You could literally go to the grocery store and buy fresh local mushrooms. They are expensive, but they are available year round.

We really need to get an expert expert who really knows his experts

I didn't know other people had kids like this in their class.

Yo I'm that kid 😩

I happen to have an addiction to it

@@flurpurr Do your parents have some "salt is evil and unhealthy" stance? Because if you have cravings for plain salt that sounds like you are not getting enough in your food.

@@nicfab1 I mean you aren't wrong. But what I meant is that I was that kid, not currently 👀

Always question experts

Same. I thought it was going to be boring but it was honestly very interesting.

If you watch Salt Fat Acid Heat on Netflix, you'll find that salt can get super technical and surprisingly flavorful. That show gave me a new perspective on salt.

@@ellax325 thanks for the recommendation I'm gonna watch that!

Watch that salt, fat, acid, heat thing on netflix. It inspired my husband and I, to get a bigger salt crystal for cooking and it made an interesting difference in flavor. Recommend trying different salts

And by the looks of it, it is fleur de sel harvested on France during winter

Eeveemeohmy OMG IKR

Probably because Himalayan salt is not from anywhere near the Himalayas and it would force them to explain that salt is all the same. Only the texture and look is different.

@@EspenX and the other stuff in it thats not NaCl. Like mineral contents and "biomass" as he called it can make a difference too :) but yeah, himalayan salt is a scam.

Pepper your angus

Didn’t they have a spice expert on before, and didn’t they review pepper/peppercorn?

@@adhdhikaru not sure, maybe

All I know is if you use peppercorns and grind them up yourself in a mortar and pestle it's a million times better than using powdered or a grinder.

Already did a spice expert

Given that legally these kind of consumer tests are fine, I'm guessing that there's more editing and reshoots going on than the audience realises, and that's why we can't know the brands because it would be too much of a headache for them if someone investigated. Otherwise the lack of brands doesn't make sense.

Terry Beardmore What do you mean by editing and reshoots?

I agree, might want to buy some of this

@@dl5fse990 watch this series back and pay attention to the signs at the front - sometimes they've already exposed the prices and blurred them and so on. Pay attention to the actual products too and you'll start to see that these are chopped up heavily and not aired in any chronological ordwr, and it looks likely that they're not actually a fair test. Like if these were an objective and fair test of the experts, there's no reason for them to hide the brand names as that would be legal. The only reason to do so would be if the test was flawed and unfair in some way, which the editing seems to suggest is the case. The expert likely isn't guessing anything and knows which is which from the get go as the purpose of these videos isn't to show one as superior but to explain to you, the viewer, how experts go about ascertaining quality in various products. Basically by editing and reshoots I mean that if you pay attention you can see the final edit is from all over, and that the prices are often exposed but blurred way before they're supposed to be. That fits with the fact they can't name the brands for "legal reasons" and suggests the experts aren't guessing anything, they're just explaining how they go about ascertaining quality in their personal field.

@@medes5597 I've watched every video in the series multiple times and have never gotten this impression. At all.

Yes! I was totally brought back to that episode of it's alive.

Soo.... salty.. needs.. more salt

I don't like it when it's in my mouth but I rather enjoy the aftertaste once it's mellowed. It's not like just salty water..it tastes like the beach, the ocean, maybe a little sunblock... it tastes like the place I love best.

I do, haha. But maybe I'm weird that way.

Salt - the scapegoat for an overall trash diet 🤷🏽‍♂️

misconception

@@TheHotShots21 yeah I'm almost certain watching a video about salt won't actually raise my blood pressure.

just drink water

@@nathanielphillips6792 True, recent research between US and Denmark discovered that the 2-3g/day recommendation is way stricter than necessary. They found that we could easily handle up to 12g/day with no detriments to our health.

Release the hounds.

i have prepared the cake

I felt like he was implying that he found the cheaper salt to be a better quality than the more expensive salt. My guess is that it's actually Maldon Smoked Salt, hence his talking about it coming in a cardboard box.

I don't mind it if they miss one because it just reminds you that packaging and name isn't everything.

Two months on but I remembered that granulated dried garlic you get in the shops is full of salt. I tried to use it once instead of fresh, made everything inedibly salty. So we do have garlic salt in england, the wankers labelled it dried garlic instead when it's as salty as garlicky the bunch o'cunts

Probably there isn't much of a difference between cheap and expensive Himalayan rock salt. It is all rock salt from the same area of Punjab in Pakistan that is just ground up, all tastes the same.

Probably because that shit's a scam. I could spill the blood of my enemies on a vat of salt and it'd be the same as Himalayan salt. Salt with a little iron in it.

manictiger ok then

I've had a few different Himalayan salts and there is definitely a difference in taste.

@@manictiger weird flex but ok

I'll second that.
