Hawaiian Deep Sea Salt

[Guest guest]

I wrote Selina Naturally (www.celticseasalt.com) for the mineral analysis of

their Hawaiian Deep Sea Salt, which has the highest non-NaCl content I've seen.

It has high amounts of sulfate, magnesium, and calcium in addition to trace

minerals. It is " extracted from 2,000 feet below the surface off the coast of

Kona. "

Sample Name Selina Naturally™ Hawaiian Deep Sea Salt

Calcium (%) 0.95

Chloride (%) 48.45

Copper (ppm) 0.01

Iron (ppm) 0.32

Lead (ppm) 0.002

Magnesium (%) 1.83

Moisture (%) 13.97

Potassium (%) 0.65

Settleable Solids

(10% solution) < 0.01

Sodium (%) 28.45

Sulfate (%) 4.73

Zinc (ppm) 0.19

pH (10% solution) 10.22

The analysis only adds up to slightly over 99%. I wish they would include the

complete analysis--what do they have to hide? Trace minerals? Mercury or other

toxins? Regardless of that and the high price ($15 for a half pound) I think I'm

going to order some, unless someone has found another source for salt with a

similarly high mineral content.
