Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Was wondering which Celtic Sea Salt to buy (to do the veggie fermentation, and soaking of nuts/seeds)? The HFS has coarse and fine. Does anyone know which I should use? Thanks, Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 IMO, neither. I've had too many mold issues using Celtic Sea Salt that I've not experienced with much cheaper brands like Real Salt.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I use Real salt for stuff like this too. I have never had mold issues, but just felt that Real salt was good enough for jobs like this. I do use both kinds of the Celtic for cooking....and actually it is three kinds when you add in the superfine salt I get when I grind the coarse salt in my salt grinder.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Sharon, thank you so much for the advice! Do you refer to Redmond Real Salt? I purchased that a while ago, since it was WAY cheaper than Celtic Sea Salt. What kind of " mold issues " are your referring to? Dean _____ IMO, neither. I've had too many mold issues using Celtic Sea Salt that I've not experienced with much cheaper brands like Real Salt. Sharon, NH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi, Dean Yes, Redmond is it. I also use Trader Joe's version of Redmond's " real " sea salt. Mold issues have occured on batches of " sponge " for my sourdough bread, as well as the basic sponge for pancakes, waffles, etc., but it has ONLY occured (on several occasions) using Celtic Sea Salt. I threw the entire bag away after the last mold fiasco. In hindsight, maybe I should have returned it to the store. I've heard from others that they've had the same issue. In my case, I knew it wasn't the flour or other ingredients - especially when the only variable I changed was the salt. I've had the same problem when fermenting veggies, but again, only when using Celtic Sea Salt.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 *bonk* Of course - moist! I'd not considered that. Good insight, Dean. And yes, if one can have that type of savings AND not eat toxic food, go for the Real Salt.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well, this time around they were sold out of the celtic sea salt in the bulk section. It was $5/lb. Then we saw the little shakers for like $11, though much less than a pound. Interesting. I also saw brochures for it at the Houston Central City CO-op, but they just had the bath salt. So for now, I picke dup some Eden portugese sea salt. It kind of says it doesn't contain iodine so it may not be top quality. I'd definetely like to get some CSS at some point. > > > > Do any of you have a preferred location to buy this from, or is buying > > it online better? > > Does Whole Foods carry it? > > > > I haven't gotten to the subject of salt in Nourishing Traditions yet(I > > assume it's there), but I guess the difference between the celtic, and > > say, 365 organic sea salt, is that the celtic is a bit more whole and > > contains the naturally occuring iodine? > > archosecutor87, > Whole Foods carries it.
