    Could you process it further and package it up to sell as salt? Or is this not the same thing as table salt?

      Depends on the desalination method. If there’s no added chemicals, or if they removed them prior, I’d assume it’s feasible. After all, ancient times used to just evaporate seawater and get salt from it.

      It might just be an economic problem. Questions such as where are you going to get land for creating huge evaporation pools, is it worth the yield of table salt, etc.
