re: Spinoff thread....Why use salt in a crawfish boil?

A Cajunland "tub" has 290 mg of sodium per serving, but there are 1800 servings per tub (see link to Cajunland nutritional facts below). That works out to 522,000 mg of sodium per Cajunland tub.

Oh, I see. Good catch.
But 522,000 of sodium equates to 1305 grams of salt which is about 2.9 lbs.
I guess it's subjective whether that difference is negligible or not, but with dispersion and absorption rates, perhaps it is negligible or at least not nearly as higher as it looked.
Thanks.
