'Why' Sea Salt?

Sea salt is pure, unrefined salt in its natural form. This means that it still contains trace minerals. When refining salt, the trace minerals are removed creating a product, which is very high in sodium chloride. Large amounts of sodium chloride are very hard for the body to assimilate and utilize. Refined salt has also had drying agents added to it for easy pouring.

Natural sea salt, however, helps to produce strong blood and body fluids, which are very similar in their make up. They too contain sodium chloride and many varieties of minerals.

When you season your cooking with sea salt you will notice the superior flavor. The nutritional value is enhanced too. When purchasing sea salt, choose a pure white variety. Grey sea salt has excessive amounts of minerals, which are too strong for the body.
