Where to find the super nutritious, mineral-rich sea salt that is discussed in this post.
Did you know that everyday table salt is highly processed and very different from high-quality sea salt? I use this salt for everything. Be sure you buy unrefined (not all sea salts are) and unbleached, with no anti-caking agents or iodine added (which we can get from other sources), it tastes great, and is also very beneficial to our bodies because it is full of natural minerals. This is especially important at our house because we have a Reverse Osmosis water system, which is good for the filtering, but bad because the minerals are all taken out as well.
Colorful salt
True sea salt will have different colors and specks in it, which show you the various minerals are there! If it’s pure white, you’ll know it’s probably refined and bleached.
Sea salt and high blood pressure
An interesting tidbit about this salt: for some people with high blood pressure, it doesn’t affect them. Don’t go crazy trying this the first time, you might try just a little and see how you do. (You may also want to check with your doctor first.) Interestingly, I’ve read that only about 3% of high blood pressure cases are related to salt intake!

I just bought a 9 oz bottle of this salt at the Knapp Street Meijer store on sale for $3. The regular price is $3.59. It was located in the spice aisle along with all the other salts. I’m very anxious to try it.
Hi Natalie,
Thanks for letting us know what you found! Just an FYI though, you can still get it even cheaper at an Amish store or bulk-foods store if you can find one near you. (I got it for $2.77/16oz.)
God bless,
Kelly
A salt I’ve been using lately is Himalayan Pink Crystal. There’s lots of it out there, and it IS expensive. Something about it is compelling, though. I used Celtic Sea Salt for years. The URL is included here because there is very enlightening info at this site about this particular salt – in fact, about the magic structure and many uses of salt/water solution.

I used to use Le Tresor which is comparable to Celtic gray seasalt…until we discovered Trader Joe’s Coarse Sea Salt..it’s unrefined and seems to be comparable to both but much more reasonably priced. The Celtic Sea Salt site also has a wealth of info on the benefits of seasalt.
Good scoop, thanks!
so what’s the scoop on salt? i switched to kosher for some odd reason i can’t remember – but i def. like it better than table salt. i’m just curious if nutritionally it’s actually any better. i am totally ready to make any changes that are better for us and salt seems easy enough!
