Can rock salt be ground up to use in a salt scrub?

[Darbla]

I couldn't find my sea salt but while plundering around I did find an old box of rock salt. I tried beating some of it with a hammer to grind it up, but I didn't do a very good job of it and a lot of it was still too large to really make a decent salt scrub. Is it too hard to use in a coffee grinder? Or how about a blender, or would that make it too powdery? Just looking for frugal ideas to use up stuff I've already got.

Since it's commonly known as table salt, I don't really see why it can't. You'll need to be sure there aren't impurities in it. Why not give it a try on a really small batch and see what you think about it.

I did this a few weeks ago! I threw it in the food processor and it came out very fine. It also works like normal.

Well, if it doesn't work, you could always just make homemade icecream and invite us all over! Yeah, that's a much better idea!

If you couldn't grind it fine enough you could just use it in bath salts. I have some customers who really like the big crystal salts, and they look very pretty when colored in jars. I've used rock/ice cream salt, kosher salt, sea salt, spa salt, you name it I've probably used it.
