In the historical heyday of salt making on Cape Cod, not only table salt was produced. On the Local Food Report, Elspeth Hay describes how a byproduct was used for making washing soda for detergents, tanning leather, and dying cloth. What's more, the cold brine leftover could be used to make Epsom salt, or magnesium sulfate.
