Celtic Sea Salt

Although Celtic Sea Salt cannot provide you with all your mineral needs, it is a whole salt, unadulterated, untreated, and unprocessed. This type of whole salt is a beneficial ingredient to a healthy diet. Lynne August, M.D., a specialist in establishing proper sodium levels, says that when isolated sodium chloride (i.e. common table salt) is used, it affects the body like a drug. Celtic Sea Salt, a whole salt, naturally contains a variety of minerals that each play a part in the way that the body effectively uses this salt. All of these minerals are important to the process of assimilation of food.

Celtic Sea Salt is harvested near the coast of Northwestern France. Ocean water, rich in a wide variety of minerals, is channeled into a series of clay-lines ponds. The wind and sun evaporate the ocean water, leaving a mineral-rich brine. This live mixture is briskly stimulated by the salt farmer, and dazzling salt crystals form. Celtic Sea Salt is then gathered by hand using wooden tools. This harvesting method preserves the vital balance of the minerals found in Celtic Sea Salt. Common table salt lacks minerals and trace minerals because it is purified and refined, leaving only sodium and chloride. After refining, common table salt is mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents to create a purely white, free-flowing product. Even many salts labeled “sea salt’ are washed or boiled, which removes minerals and trace elements from the salt.
