5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sea Salt, November 7, 2007

By

(REAL NAME)   

I first heard about this sea salt in the book, "Real Food", by Nina Planck, who touted its health benefits and delicious taste. Unlike most salts available today -- including gourmet sea salts, kosher salts, and table salts -- Celtic Sea Salt is hand-harvested, unprocessed, and unrefined in Brittany using centuries-old techniques. This means it retains its original natural minerals, the absence of which in today's diet can contribute to a range of health problems.

So fine, it's good for you. But how does it taste? As a regular user of expensive sea salts (purchased in gourmet food stoes, Whole Foods, etc.) before finding this one, I can say it is by far the best tasting one on the market. It actually has a delicious stand-alone flavor and tastes less metallic than other sea salts I've purchased and more like authentic salt should. I purchased some at Whole Foods and kept it out in a salt cellar on our table. It quickly became the only salt we use, both to season our food at the table as well as in a wide range of recipes. Now I buy it in bulk via Amazon, which offers a better price per ounce than the small jars sold at Whole Foods.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than Salt, May 8, 2007

This unprocessed sea salt has much more than just sodium chloride in it. There are dozens of trace minerals in it making it much healthier for you. It is coarse, so just a little pinch sprinkled into your cooking or table food will do it. The taste is strong and goes a long way, but is SSOOO much better than normal table salt. If you want it fine, you can grind it in peppercorn grinder or buy the fine ground for a little more money.

This review is from: Celtic Sea Salt®, Light Grey, By The Grain & Salt Society, Coarse Ground, 1 lb (Misc.)

This sea salt is excellent for cooking but also for general use. It tastes superior to any salt that I've ever tried and since it's harvested from cold, northern seas it has a much richer mineral content. Magnesium is especially important for the body and many studies show that approximately 2/3 of people are deficient in this element, this salt has a higher magnesium content than any other that I know of thanks in large part to the minimal processing that it undergoes.
