Re: Celtic salt vs. Rose Mountain Evaporated Sea Salt???

[Guest guest]

Check out the file called C) Salt, All About It

I think I saw it explained there. If its not there, then I think a

search of old post will find Bee's explaination as to why celtic is

preferable.

==>Good ocean sea salt is grey and moist and it contains over 84

minerals. Celtic contains 84% sodium + chloride, while California sea

salt contains 99.83%. Also the method of harvesting Celtic sea salt is

by using wooden paddles so that no metal touches it.

Thanks Bee... I'll try to read more. I've been reading your articles

for the last 2 hours, and am now thru the " B " folders. Amazing how

many questions get answered in the files, huh? Sorry...

--I have been meaning to ask just exactly why it is called celtic sea

salt. There is no such thing here in Europe. What there is Sel de

Gueranda hand harvested salt from France or other hand harvested salt.

I have assumed that this is equivalent to so called celtic salt.

Grateful for explanation. We pay about 1.50 Euro (about 2 Dollars US)

for 1 kilo here and can get it in any supermarket.

Perihan

" Celtic Sea Salt ® " is actually a registered brand name. I believe it

was given its name because it is harvested from the coasts of Brittany,

France, one of the six Celtic Nations.

==>Hi Perihan. Celtic refers to the wooden paddles used to harvest the

sea salt. It is not harvested by machine but by " paludiers "

(traditional celtic artisan sea salt harvesters).

stuff!. One less thing to worry about!I used to ask my sister to bring

some each time she visited from the States!
