@kbin.socialYes, and sometimes you have to throw in a real curve ball!
By the way, as head of quality at a saltworks in Europe, I should point out that there are as many shapes and sizes to processed salt as there are subtleties to their trace mineral concentrations. So "a grain of salt" isn't a well defined quantity.
I just wanted to add to the useless comments saying they don't know and can't be bothered.
Did only a few of us miss this? Seems like it could have been explained better up front.
Plants don't appear to be of a different origin than animals on this planet. They share most of the genetic code* with all other life we know about. The simplest explanation is that we share a common origin, and furthermore that was a common ancestor that likely began from simpler materials on this planet.
*The genetic code is the translation of nucleotide triplets into amino acid sequences
