Have a look and let me know how you think they compare. Natures Cargo http://www.naturescargo.ca Brittany Seasalt http://www.brittanysalt.com Grain & Salt Society http://www.celticseasalt.com Here are direct links to their mineral analysis: Natures Cargo http://www.naturescargo.ca/analysis.html Brittany Seasalt analysis: http://www.brittanysalt.com/information.htm Celtic Seasalt mineral analysis: http://www.celticseasalt.com/PDF/CSSAnalysis-Jan2007.pdf Hope this helps! :-) Debra NW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thanks Debra, It's hard to tell for sure. I remember Bee mentioning that Celtic salt had the highest amount of minerals, but if it's true that it's from the same place and same salt just different packaging, then it should be ok too. Maybe someone else here will know more. Elyse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, I am exploring it further and will let you know what I find out when I hear back from Nature's Cargo and other sources.

Bee will often write, " celtic or a good, ocean sea salt " ...these kinds of sea salt are hand harvested, unrefined and have a high mineral content. The recommended variety has large crystals, is gray in color and quite moist. jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below find the reference to a photo of the correct type of harvesting called " traditional celtic salt-harvesters " , which uses wooden paddles. This is where the word Celtic comes from. Canada wouldn't allow the Grain & Salt Society to use the word Celtic in it's name, so it is called Nature's Cargo here. http://www.eco-natural.com/greysalt/ Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 I checked the website www.brittanysalt.com it doesn't say anything about wooden paddles, all I saw is that it's hand gathered (that would be way too much work). I sent them an e-mail to ask, I'll post when I get a reply. Any idea why Canada wouldn't allow the name Celtic to be used?

Ask at your health store. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
