Can’t tell if this is a pest or not. Small white dots on the bottom of my leaves. Seems granular, doesn’t appear to be moving.. there’s this small possibility it’s salt because I have this thing called a bug-a-salt.. but yeh anyone able to positively identify?

Hi everyone. I just learned caltheas create what’s called Cystoliths, and they’re minerals the leaves push out of their undersides. Pretty cool!
