Why did South Korea grab salt?

South Korea grabs salt because the salt in South Korea is mainly sea salt.

On August 24th, the nuclear sewage from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant was discharged into the sea, which attracted global attention. In neighboring South Korea, the price of salt has soared, and the Korean people even have the phenomenon of "national salt hoarding". Some consumers and retailers began to hoard sea salt due to factors such as the Fukushima nuclear pollution water discharge plan in Japan.

The Korean government put reserve sea salt into the market to cope with the fluctuation of the sea salt market. Fukushima nuclear polluted water may contain radioactive substances after it is discharged into the sea. The main impact of nuclear waste water is sea salt, that is, salt fields in coastal areas will have great losses. As a coastal country, South Korea mainly eats sea salt, and the sea water is polluted, so sea salt is inevitable.

Introduction to the types of salt:

1, rock salt: the formation of rock salt is mainly caused by crustal movement. Originally, the location of the sea was sealed underground, and after the seawater evaporated, the crystals of salt blocks were left, which is what we call rock salt mines. Well salt comes from rocks buried hundreds of meters or even thousands of meters underground. After geological changes, it was deposited by inland salt lakes or ancient seawater in ancient times, retaining the "purity" of hundreds of millions of years ago with less impurities.

2. Sea salt: extracted from the ocean, sea salt accounts for more than 70% of the world's total salt production. The most common is refined salt, also called table salt. Generally, sun-dried salt is extracted by evaporating a small amount of minerals in a vacuum tank.
