Yeah, the white part has to be the salt, and that's also how it was planned. Rian himself said that the soil gets salt deposits that blanket the ground in white.

HOWEVER...

It's dumb enough to show someone literally tasting the ground, but it's even worse to be tasting the ground right where someone just STEPPED.

What if that reddish/brownish footprint was "crystal fox crap" stuck to the guy's boot? Then the soldier would have thrown up.

I never imagined a Star Wars movie showing someone tasting the ground just to ham-fist a little bit of needless exposition that could have been handled elsewhere. So sloppy and silly.

Seriously???you think the only salt on earth is table salt???ROTFLMMFAO...Google could be your friend too...

Yeah salt can be red. I sprinkle Himalayan Pink Salt on my salad every day. This movie is still idiotic though.

Google red salt...it's a thing too...

Yea I woulden't have tasted it. Its pretty contrived and was just there to explain the visuals of the red clooud when the surface was struck by anything.

if you can't suspend disbelief about red salt in a space fantasy movie, you probably are going to have big issues with the whole "force" thing...
