Red clay peanuts

Red clay peanuts are made by mixing shelled peanuts in red mud and roasting them. Salt and minced garlic will be added to make the peanuts taste better.
After roasting, there is a layer of red clay sticking to the peanut shell, which looks beautiful and attractive, with a crispy and salty taste. But with mud added, it is a bit unhygienic to eat.

I saw some descriptions on the Internet, saying that "red soil is rich in iron, and after adding salt, it releases sodium", which makes peanuts crispy and delicious.
But salt contains sodium, why does it release sodium after adding salt? Don't know chemistry? Nobody in the whole company understands chemistry?
I think it's all gimmick, making the peanut red and attractive in appearance, creating talking point and the public's desire to buy.
