salt block
Livestock licking station
A salt block is a compressed block of salt set out for animals to lick, providing essential minerals.
Farmers place them in pastures for livestock; hunters use them to attract deer.
Salt blocks also refer to thick slabs of pink Himalayan salt used in cooking—food is grilled or served directly on the heated block, which imparts subtle flavor.
