Bought myself a large packet as a treat.
Oh, boy, was I disappointed.

I hadn't noticed the packet said, 'salt free',

In the past cashew's came with so much salt there was always a large portion for the ridiculously brave to tip the packet with the few remainimg nuts and a years worth of the white stuff to keep an alcholics thirst from being satisfied.
I've eaten the nuts, next to no flavour, I don't think healthy eating will catch on with me, next time I'm tempted, I'll go for something tasty like a smoked bacon sandwhich, plenty of salt and lot's & lot's of brown sauce.

Sodium chloride is bad - real salt is good
(sea salt and himalayan salt)

It is chemically the same stuff, only your minds chemical imbalance allows you to think there is a difference.
Such a shame, with all the things that you so easily believe, you must have been a real pushover for the dodgy chat up lines when you were younger.

Not quite true Less, whilst salt is salt, the salt that is sold in containers for table use, contains additives. I have to restrict my salt intake for diabetic, and blood pressure reasons, but I can get away with a moderate amount of Sea Salt.
Retlaw.

Thats due to the essential minerals that processed salt doesn't have.

If and it's a big IF, the pink is an essential mineral, how come people like myself that have never used it manage to survive.
Essentially, such thinking as yours is flawed.
 
Less, I would have tossed the salt free nuts into a hot non stick pan, toasted them for a couple of minutes, then added just enough salt to make them palatable.
 
These so-called gourmet salts are just a marketing trick -Can you really tell the difference in your casserole if it's got Himalayan pink salt in, sea salt or blue salt from Puglia? Some-one some-where is on the make from these gimics...

Well to be honest I haven't used salt for years, by that I mean from a salt cellar at the dining table, the only time I have it is if I'm having steak
