Guest guest Posted October 9, 2001 Report Share Posted October 9, 2001 Can anyone comment on the pros/cons of Celtic Sea Salt vs. " RealSalt " from Redmond Minerals in Utah? It is mined, and is brownish in color, from the trace minerals, etc. Thanks, Randy Wattermann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 I don't know, but maybe RealSalt would be missing some of the pollutants? RealSalt has a nutritional analysis on their website. I wonder how it compares with Celtic sea salt? We've used RealSalt exclusively for the last 10 years or so because we'd never heard of Celtic. You can buy RealSalt for a little over $2 a pound including shipping. Check out www.realsalt.com ine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Aubin - thanks for the response - don't remember any other postings on my question to-date. The package on the RealSalt states that it is mined from an undisturbed ancient seabed deep underground - so I don't know about missing minerals. It may certainly have a different ratio due to its different origin. Doesn't sound like anyone else has experience with it?

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 We do not live near the sea, so Real Salt is my choice because of the iodine content. Since we have been using it I have come to dislike the taste of " commercial " salt purchased in grocery stores.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 Real Salt is also moist. I have to give the shaker a firm tap before the salt will shake out. Judith Alta Kidder Mission Possible Southwest Michigan jaltak@... -----Original Message----- The folks at Grain and Salt say that the litmus test for unadultered salt is whether the total for sodium and chloride is around 85%.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2001 Report Share Posted October 18, 2001 I don't have any real answers on the Real Salt vs. Celtic Sea Salt, but I do use both of them, as well as even cheaper sea salt that I imagine is quite refined (from before I could even bring myself to pay the price for Real Salt, much less Celtic Sea Salt!). I do know that from what I have read Celtic Sea Salt sounds like it is better for us, although I don't think anything was specifically comparing it with Real Salt. I do think Real Salt is quite a good salt, also. I can't remember what all convinced me that Celtic was better, so I can't give any details. . . . :-) Someone was asking about the French Atlantic Salt, also. They started selling it instead of Celtic at our local health food store/co-op, and I know they label it there as being basically the same as Celtic, but less expensive. I suppose that when I run out of the Celtic Sea Salt that I stocked up on when they still had it at the store (I was able to get it there cheaper than I could get it by going to The Grain and Salt Society and buying it directly from them!), that I will try the French Atlantic.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2001 Report Share Posted October 20, 2001 Hello: I have used both RealSalt and Celtic, Celtic is my favorite. More minerals, and a lot less sodium! You can get a salt mill from The Grain and Salt Society, which helps a whole lot with Celtic, as the fine " pourable " salt is so much more expensive. Be warned though, Celtic Sea Salt is pricey!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 <laughing>.....nope...well, yes, you can try. I did....clogs up and won't dispense. We tried all kinds of salt and pepper grinders, until I finally gave up and ordered the ceramic one.

That brand is indeed pricey, but both Eden and Lima sell what I believe to be the same salt (ground slightly finer), the chemical analysis is the same, it's also greyish and moist. Those two brands are much less expensive, less than half the price. Aubin __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 28, 2002 Report Share Posted February 28, 2002 Hello, Everyone, For those who buy sea salt, I have a question.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Celtic Sea Salt is a specific brand that some health food stores carry. It looks like rock salt in texture and is brownish in color. It dissolves almost instantly in water and on the tongue. http://www.celtic-seasalt.com/ also sells it if you can not find it locally. I also use a brand called Real Salt. http://www.realsalt.com/ >> ________________ Karma, I appreciate this. I will try to find one or both of these salts. At one health food store, I don't remember seeing another brand, but I could be wrong. There are a couple of health food stores in a little town that I trade in, and then one in another little town. It's hard to find things in smaller towns sometimes. Take care, Susie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 3, 2002 Report Share Posted March 3, 2002 Hi Susie, HAIN brand is a pretty common health food brand. It can now be bought at Wal-Mart in the grocery section. It is by far the least favorite of the brands that I use. I believe it is far more refined than any of the other brands. Celtic Sea Salt is a specific brand that some health food stores carry. It looks like rock salt in texture and is brownish in color. It dissolves almost instantly in water and on the tongue. http://www.celtic-seasalt.com/ also sells it if you can not find it locally. I also use a brand called Real Salt. http://www.realsalt.com/ The debate as to whether the Real Salt or the Celtic Sea salt is better go on. They both are sea salt. The Celtic is current sea salt that is mined and dried. The Real Salt is mined from salt mines deep in the earth. Purity gets into the discussion when discussing which is better. I personally use them both, but tend to lean towards the Real Salt. They both still have the minerals and other nutrients in it. It is a personal decision which one is right for you. Read both sites and then decide. I have found that the Real Salt leaves brown granules at the bottom of a pitcher if I dissolve it in the water, for instance to do the salt cleanse from the Master Cleanse. The Celtic Sea Salt doesn't leave any residue on the bottom.

Tough choice between that and the lead. Which would taste better, do you think? Or wait, how about some grey crayons? No, that would ruin the " texture " . Most of the labels upon which I see this are spice mixes/rubs (I was looking around a lot over the last few weeks while on a jerky-making binge but feeling lazy about making up my own mixes). So it's not like you can SEE the color, but, ya know. It's like the commercial I saw a few months ago promoting P/H milk for weight loss. It gave a website, but I never checked it out because I tend NOT to be in the mood to invite depression. Poor SAD's. MFJ Putting it in our hands gives us so much hope. ~C.
