I felt it to my soul when you said, "It actually worked a lot better in the 70's."

Everything did. 🥺

Celtic Sea Salt changed my life (and health) in 2002. It has the lowest levels of sodium and highest levels of calcium and magnesium. It does not cause edema and it makes everything taste great. I LOVE IT!

I recently discovered Maldon sea salt flakes and I love it. I use so little, it is not a significant cost to me. I've tried many high end Mediterranean sea salts over the decades, and nowadays I just use Malden as it is so clearly well manufactured and clean. It is made in Maldon, Essex, UK.

Hello Chef. I have been in the mine in Pakistan and believe me I found peace. The salt has 30 to 60 trace minerals and does not raise the blood pressure to much. You have touch my heart liking Pakistani salt. I was moved. Please Take care dear Chef. Peace. Zeena

My favorite is none that you spoke of. Switched to Redmond's Real Salt (mined in the mountains near Redmond, Utah) years ago, and love the flavor it brings to our food. Available in a few different grind sizes for various uses. Give it a try. Let us know your thoughts.

Many years ago, I was a chemistry major in college. I also worked in a lab. One day, we sent out for lunch, and I ordered a sub. Problem is, it needed salt, and there was none in the lab. There was, however, reagent grade NaCl. Thinking there was no difference in flavor, I used that - only to be educated by Mother Nature. It tasted VERY bad. I would compare it to drinking distilled water. So yes. There are differences between salts!

😲... 55yrs old and I just learned so much about a product I've used most of my life and never given much thought to.. ... We're never too old to learn something. Thanks so much for making this great video with important information. 🙏🏾👍💚

At one point in history, salt was worth more than gold because you could survive (by preserving your food, as stated in the video) with salt and not with gold! 🧂

Hawaiian here 🌺 I really appreciate your information on salt, knowledge is power. As a foodie and Island Natural buyer, I would like to say that we cooks that make Hawaiian Plates only use traditional home made white, red or black salts. It’s bought in local stores, not supermarkets or grocery stores ( or Costco). Celtic salt is one of my favorites too and real Hawaiian salt is very similar. Aloha too all ❣️

I will never buy regualr table salt, again. I am so glad I watched this video.

Thanks for the run down, appreciated. IMHO, The Diamond Kosher is the most versatile salt on the table. ( finishing, cooking, baking or seasoning anything) When added to boiling water ( eg. for pasta ) it's the only one that will dissolve almost instantly, many of the others will just sink to the bottom of the pot and take time to dissolve, not sure why that is but I'd guess it's one reason why restaurants use it. Also there are no additives at all. Its a medium coarse grain perfect for finishing and as you mentioned, not too salty. The best part is cost. Its a fraction of the price of most of the others The packaging is a simple cardboard box. Some of the others have plastic bags, or caps that don't recycle well.

I am very blessed to live in Brittany (la Bretagne) France 🇫🇷. Celtic salt is actually sea salt harvested from the Guérande estuaries in Brittany. Its interesting to take a little trip down to the coast about 40 minutes away & see the salt traps. I use nothing else . Vive la France! 😊

Redman's Real Salt is my favorite.

[poppylove]

I didn’t know there was so much to learn about salt! This is the first time I’ve seen your channel, you did a great job! I’m convinced and sold on trying the Keltic salt! Thanks for an interesting and fun video! 👍🏼

The Morton Salt Company, named after the owner, Joy Morton, the son of J. Sterling Morton (who founded Arbor Day - not to mention that there's a famous arboretum named after him near Chicago where the company is based) largely invented the anti-caking process which made the company a boatload of money. I also remember hearing that the Chicago area is low in naturally occurring iodine, the lack of which causes goiter. So Chicago had lots of cases of goiter. Hence the iodine in the salt. This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about the Morton Salt Company, but since I grew up in the Chicago area, I remember hearing about this stuff as a kid. I'll have to give the Celtic salt a try, since I'm mostly Irish.

My husband has a himalayan pink salt inhaler and it works great! Helps mucus, any kind of breathing problem 👍 and he has asthma.

When I saw kalas salt i knew were in Greece 🇬🇷💙

[davidsamuelson]

Great video. It's worth mentioning that "Celtic" is just the brand. The actual salt is harvested in Bretagne (the French Atlantic coast) and many more brands are available – both cooperatives like Sel de Noirmoutier, Les Saunier d'Île de Ré or Le Guérandais (which is the French sea salt you've linked to) – and smaller, independent producers. You'll find them everywhere on the French west coast – two examples are Marais Mounet or Salines de Millac. It's super fun to geek out on this and try differents salts, and really admire the craft of these salt harvesters.

The only salt that doesn't make my legs swell is Himalayan pink salt and Celtic sea salt. The rest I stay away from

the best foods of Greece or Italy are made with sea water - note, the most delicious macaroni is made in/with seawater at the beach !
