Do you know why sea salt is so rich in trace minerals? It is because it is full of seagull poop. Every time they flood the salt flats, thousands of sea birds rush in to feast on the fish trapped in the shallow water. They have to flood the flats many times to get the salt/poop mix thick enough to harvest.
I think I'll stick to salt for sodium and either bananas or potatoes for potassium although salt substitute (potassium chloride) might do the trick I don't like the taste.
I guess if I were really plagued with this problem rather than it being just an occasional nuisance, I might try a little yeast energizer and maybe just a smidgen of Epsom Salts
