Thursday Salt
Thursday salt is a dark salt produced in the Kostroma region, Russia. It is associated with Russian Orthodox Easter traditions, and was historically produced at the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius monastery on Maundy Thursday. The salt is created by mixing rock salt with flavourings such as kvass, herbs, or rye, and baking the mixture at a very high temperature for several hours. The process reduces the sodium chloride content and increases the content of other minerals such as calcium and potassium.

Kostroma
Kostroma (, ) is a historic city and the administrative center of Kostroma Oblast, Russia. A part of the Golden Ring of Russian cities, it is located at the confluence of the rivers Volga and Kostroma. In the 2021 census, the population is 267,481. History Under the Rurikids The official founding year of the city is 1152 by Yury Dolgoruky.Official website of KostromaKostroma Today/ref> Since many scholars believe that early Eastern Slavs tribes arrived in modern-day Belarus, Ukraine and western Russia AD 400 to 600, Kostroma could be much older than previously thought. The city has the same name as the East Slavic goddess Kostroma. Like other towns of the Eastern Rus, Kostroma was sacked by the Mongols in 1238. It then constituted a small principality, under leadership of Prince Vasily of Kostroma, a younger brother of the famous Alexander Nevsky. Upon inheriting the grand ducal title in 1271, Vasily didn't leave the town for Vladimir, and his descendants ruled Kostroma f ...

Trinity Lavra Of St
The Trinity (, from 'threefold') is the Christian doctrine concerning the nature of God in Christianity, God, which defines one God existing in three, , consubstantial prosopon, divine persons: God the Father (Christianity), God the Father, God the Son (Jesus in Christianity, Jesus Christ) and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons (''Hypostasis (philosophy and religion), hypostases'') sharing one essence/substance/nature (''homoousion''). As the Fourth Lateran Council declared, it is the Father who s, the Son who is , and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. In this context, one essence/nature defines God is, while the three persons define God is. This expresses at once their distinction and their indissoluble unity. Thus, the entire process of creation and grace in Christianity, grace is viewed as a single shared action of the three divine persons, in which each person manifests the attributes unique to them in the Trinity, thereby proving that everything comes "from the F ...

Rock Salt
Halite ( ), commonly known as rock salt, is a type of salt, the mineral (natural) form of sodium chloride ( Na Cl). Halite forms isometric crystals. The mineral is typically colorless or white, but may also be light blue, dark blue, purple, pink, red, orange, yellow or gray depending on inclusion of other materials, impurities, and structural or isotopic abnormalities in the crystals. It commonly occurs with other evaporite deposit minerals such as several of the sulfates, halides, and borates. The name ''halite'' is derived from the Ancient Greek word for "salt", ἅλς (''háls''). Occurrence Halite dominantly occurs within sedimentary rocks where it has formed from the evaporation of seawater or salty lake water. Vast beds of sedimentary evaporite minerals, including halite, can result from the drying up of enclosed lakes and restricted seas. Such salt beds may be hundreds of meters thick and underlie broad areas. Halite occurs at the surface today in playas in reg ...

Kvass
Kvass is a fermented, cereal-based, low-alcoholic beverage of cloudy appearance and sweet-sour taste. Kvass originates from northeastern Europe, where grain production was considered insufficient for beer to become a daily drink. The first written mention of kvass is found in ''Primary Chronicle'', describing the celebration of Vladimir the Great's baptism in 988. In the traditional method, kvass is made from a mash obtained from rye bread or rye flour and malt soaked in hot water, fermented for about 12 hours with the help of sugar and bread yeast or baker's yeast at room temperature. In industrial methods, kvass is produced from wort concentrate combined with various grain mixtures. It is a drink known in Belarus, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia, Poland, Russia, and Ukraine. Kvass (or beverages similar to it) are also popular in some parts of China, Finland, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. Terminology The word ''kvass'' is ultimately from Proto-Indo-European bas ...

Black Lava Salt
Sea salt is salt that is produced by the evaporation of seawater. It is used as a seasoning in foods, cooking, cosmetics and for preserving food. It is also called bay salt, solar salt, or simply salt. Like mined rock salt, production of sea salt has been dated to prehistoric times. Composition Commercially available sea salts on the market today vary widely in their chemical composition. Although the principal component is sodium chloride, the remaining portion can range from less than 0.2 to 22% of other salts. These are mostly calcium, potassium, and magnesium salts of chloride and sulfate with substantially lesser amounts of many trace elements found in natural seawater. Though the composition of commercially available salt may vary, the ionic composition of natural saltwater is relatively constant. Historical production Sea salt is mentioned in the Vinaya Pitaka, a Buddhist scripture compiled in the mid-5th century BC. The principle of production is evaporation of the wa ...

Himalayan Salt
Himalayan salt is rock salt (halite) mined from the Punjab, Pakistan, Punjab region of Pakistan. The salt, which often has a pinkish tint due to trace minerals, is primarily used as a food additive to replace Salt#Edible salt, refined table salt but is also used for cooking and food presentation, decorative lamps, and spa treatments. The product is often promoted with unsupported claims that it health claim, has health benefits. Geology Himalayan salt is mined from the Salt Range mountains, the southern edge of a Fold and thrust belt, fold-and-thrust belt that underlies the Pothohar Plateau south of the Himalayas in Pakistan. Himalayan salt comes from a thick layer of Ediacaran to early Cambrian evaporites of the ''Salt Range Formation''. This geological formation consists of crystalline halite intercalated with potash salts, overlain by gypsiferous marl and interlayered with beds of gypsum and Dolomite (rock), dolomite with infrequent seams of oil shale that accumulated between ...

Jugyeom
Bamboo salt (, ) is a Korean condiment and traditional remedy. It is prepared by packing sea salt in a thick bamboo stem, and baking it nine times at high temperature using pine firewood. Production To make , sea salt is packed into bamboo canisters and sealed with yellow clay. Traditionally the mixture is baked in an iron oven and roasted in a pine fire at about 800°C (or 1472°F) which burns away the bamboo, leaving a column of salt .This process takes around 12 to 14 hours . These columns are them taken out and grinded and repacked in the bamboo canisters again. This process is repeated for eight more times The salt filled in these bamboo canisters is bay salt produced from Korea's west coast. During baking the salt absorbs the bamboo constituents that bring a distinctive sweetness, which is called Gamrojung flavor. Baking darkens the salt. The ninth baking process uses the highest temperature, over in a special kiln . This high temperature completely melts the salt, whi ...

Kala Namak
Kala namak or black salt is a kiln-fired rock salt with a sulphurous, pungent smell used in the Indian subcontinent. It is also known as "Himalayan black salt", ''Sulemani namak'', ''bit noon'', ''bire noon'', ''bit loona'', ''bit lobon'', ''kala loon'', ''sanchal'', ''kala meeth'', ''guma loon'', or ''pada loon'', and is manufactured from the salts mined in the regions surrounding the Himalayas. The condiment is composed largely of sodium chloride, with several other components lending the salt its color and smell. The smell is mainly due to its sulphur content. Because of the presence of greigite , Iron(II,III) sulphide) in the mineral, it forms brownish-pink to dark violet translucent crystals when whole. When ground into a powder, its color ranges from purple to pink. Kala namak has been praised in Ayurveda and used for its perceived medical qualities. Production The raw material for producing kala namak was originally manufactured from natural halite from mines in Northe ...

Edible Salt
In common usage, salt is a mineral composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl). When used in food, especially in granulated form, it is more formally called table salt. In the form of a natural crystalline mineral, salt is also known as rock salt or halite. Salt is essential for life in general (being the source of the essential Mineral (nutrient), dietary minerals Sodium#Biological role, sodium and Chlorine#Biological role, chlorine), and saltiness is one of the Basic tastes, basic human tastes. Salt is one of the oldest and most ubiquitous food seasonings, and is known to uniformly improve the taste perception of food. Salting (food), Salting, brining, and pickling are ancient and important methods of food preservation.
