Refined Salt is Made For The Chemical Industry Not For People.

The salt industry is huge, hundreds of tons of salt are produced each year. However, only 4% of purified salt is headed to grocery store shelves, restaurants and food processing plants. Pure sodium chloride is a necessary ingredient in the processing of many chemicals. Naturally occurring minerals and trace elements are removed from salt to prevent scaling in the chemical making machines. In fact, salt is made for chemicals not people.

Important Concepts of Whole, Unprocessed Salt.

Clay lined beds

The natural clay that lines the Celtic Sea Salt® beds enhances the mineral contents of the salt and protects the fragile trace elements. The clay also ionizes the many minerals in the salt, helping it to be rich in electrolytes. Concrete lined salt beds may excrete lime into salt and allow temperatures to rise.

Wooden Utensils

Metal utensils react with salt’s delicate ionic balance. Celtic Sea Salt’s® ionic balance is protected through the use of wooden utensils. Because of this ionic balance, unrefined, whole sea salt is naturally attracted to fluids in the human body. In this way, Celtic Sea Salt helps to maintain the fluid balance in the body.
