Want to be a “fly on the wall” at this year’s Fancy Food Show, an event that features over FIFTY THOUSAND of the NEWEST, HOTTEST (pardon the expression) GOURMET food?? That’s what I did with my Nokia N93 Digital camera/telephone in San Diego a few months ago. But rather than put everyone through the TORTURE of visiting MANY food stalls and sampling everything from Indian food to stone-pressed chocolate, I selected my “BEST OF SHOW” for this and other upcoming videos. Their new “flavored salts” were my number one choice for some of the most innovative “fancy” foods I saw there…

Meet Mark Zoske and Naomi Novotny, who are obsessed, with salt- and not just with each other (they’re engaged!!) –and they are creating some of the neatest salts- in addition to importing them from all the world. They’re the founder and vice president of Salt Works, From Vintage Merlot to Green Chile, their high-quality salts are chock-full of delicious flavors and culinary creativity (it took them YEARS to figure out how to infuse salt with the full flavor of Merlot!). Check out the video and all their other amazing flavors!

Salt often takes a bad rap for raising blood pressure, but a little salt is absolutely necessary for the body to function. In fact, according to the American Dietetic Association, the body needs at least 500mg of salt per day in order for all your muscles (including your heart) to work properly. So I say, if you need salt, it might was well be good salt, right?!
