why mountain salt isn't as nutritious as sea salt

[Guest guest]

I would also add that Himalayan salt and any salt that comes from mountains isn't as nutritious as saltfrom the sea or salt marshes and here is why:eons ago many parts of the world was covered in sea including many mountain tops which is where the salt

in salt mines on (what is now) land came from; however, the ocean's water wasn't as developed as today's oceanwater and didn't contain as many minerals, etc. - remember this is eons ago, hundreds of millions of years ago.

Later, other minerals came into being in the ocean - and are still there today, which is where salt from the oceansand its salt marshes comes from.So if you're going for the highest mineral content, go with unrefined SEA salt, not just unrefined salt. I recently

looked at the back of the package for mineral content and Celtic Sea salt by far had the most. I checkedHimalayan pink salt, Real salt from Utah and Celtic sea salt.Hope this helps instead of confuses. It came from my scientist husband (who always wins in Trivial Pursuit!)
