Re: What Celtic Sea Salt Really Is...

[Guest guest]

Since Celtic sea salt comes from the ocean, the same as other sea

salts, why does it have a different mineral composition?

What in the world is " living enzyme content " ?

The info below sure seems to me to be advertizing hype to sell their

particular brand of sea salt.

Good point Alobar,

Does it really have to be " celtic? "

I would think that sea salt is sea salt thus celtic sea

salt would be very similar to Hawaiian rock salt, eh?

The Celtic Sea Salt people have said it

is because of the clay beds the salt is dried in.

Hawaiian salt (at least the brand I've seen) is sea

salt with Hawaiian red clay added.

Clay is really an amazing thing, and I take a little

with meals. I've known people who just add it

to whatever salt they are using too. It makes a huge

difference in digestion, though probably not for the

reasons advertised with " Celtic salt " or other brands

of salt. I usually add clay AND seaweed, plus some

of my favorite spices, to my " salt " shaker, and it sure

is nicer than the plain salt I used to use.

Anyway, I think you are correct: ocean water doesn't change

all that much from one continent to another, but clay does,

so when you are drying salt, which clay it picks up

will make a difference in the final salt.

Celtic salt contains 14.3 % moisture, so there is only 1.7% other minerals, not 16%.Waltiodine From: Alobar@...Date: Thu, 3 Jan 2008 23:30:09 -0600Subject: Re: What Celtic Sea Salt Really Is...

The sea salt made by different companies such as Haines is just the same as Morton's. They only put the label "sea salt" on it. Read the label...they denature it and put additives in so it is pourable. Which I've noticed most here are wanting that pourability. Mortons removed the minerals to sell to cereal companies so they could "fortify" their product.

There are other pure salts that are similar to Celtic brand. Himalayan for example.

Wishing us good health

Hi and all,

I have nearly 5 lbs fs Himalayan Coarse Sea Salt if someone would like it. I'll send it to you for the cost of shipping plus $10.00. I'm guessing the cost of shipping will be about $8.00.

It isn't as good *for me* as is Celtic gray Sea Salt.

,

Would love to have the Himalayan sea salt if you still have it.

Thank you
