Sea salt versus table salt

Is sea salt better than table salt?

*****

Sassy Sez: Hi there - The short answer is YES sea salt is better than table salt.

Short answer is that sea salt is mostly unprocessed and "from the sea". The sea water is simply dehydrated by the sun, and the salt that is left makes sea salt.

Whereas regular table salt is very processed, heated, and stripped of all its nutrition.

It's like the difference between brown rice and white rice.

Sea salt does not have as strong of a salty flavor as table salt, so it takes a little getting used to if you are a salt-a-holic.

The ONLY advantage to table salt is that iodine is added to it. Iodine is a very important nutrient we need, even though only small amounts are needed. So if you go the sea salt route, be sure to get IODIZED SEA SALT. xo

Best Sea Salt
by: Joi

I have found "Redmond REAL SALT" to be my favorite. It comes from ancient sea beds in Utah and is unprocessed retaining its trace minerals. It has some color and is not as salty tasting yet satisfies. One of my favorite things about it is I can use it sparingly and I don't have swelling in my legs, which happens when I eat processed salt. Also, my chiropractor stocks it because he wants his patients to use it.

Hi there Joi. Thanks for sharing. I have tried Redmond Salt and agree it is not nearly as "salty" tasting as other salts but it does seem to satisfy. I think it might be especially good for those who have to watch their sodium intake, which you have noticed with the difference in the swelling in your legs. Very interesting indeed. xo
