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.
Just got mine today. I am going to follow up in a couple of weeks. Thanks!
@@AwareHouseChefhow did you like it?
@@LovingSoul61 loved it. I did do a follow up video on it. Cheers
@@ElementFreedive i think this might be the one you’re looking for ruclips.net/video/Wt3ZUC2Meuo/видео.html
I liked the taste of Redmond but had to stop bc it was like chewing little pieces of sand in my food. :(
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
All the best!!
I have lots of pink himalayan salt all over. I use it in a respirator. It helps shorten the life of a cold and it kills germs I believe. Plus I use it as a salt rock diffuser. It kills germs. Then at the table. It does actually help fight off colds and helps with allergies.
@@AwareHouseChef I bought some grey celtic salt. Still trying to discern the taste still. Thanks for the video. I especially like it. Very informative.
Lol
Awesome lesson!!!!
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!
Thank you for sharing that. All the best!
@ihbarddx
That sounds like one of those things that seemed like a good idea at the time! Yeah, I've not done that with salt but sure have with other things. That comes under the heading of Live and Learn!
I’ve eaten Pakistani pink salt since 2018. I researched it and found it comes from a salt range in Pakistan just below the Himalayas. This is one of the marketing lies I refuse to be a part of. I have never tried Celtic sea salt. I’m heading to Amazon to order some. Thank you for taking the time to share your salt expertise. 🙂
My pleasure and thank you! Please let me know how you like it
What marketing lies are you talking about?
@bobby altman The pink salt doesn’t come from the Himalayan mountain range.
@@cindytennessee I and many people know it's from the mountains of Pakistan, you didn't understand my initial question
@bobby atman Okay
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! 🧂
That's where the saying worth your salt came from
Absolutely, as I understand it the Romans paid their military in salt. So, it was considered that you were paid your worth in salt.
@@bluesky6985 quite right
I think it was pepper that was worth it’s weight in gold. Anyone with access to an ocean can make salt. But pepper came from the Far East ONLY.
@@samiam619 Do you know how long it takes to make salt from sea water? If you don't live near the ocean transporting it becomes a problem.
😲... 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. 🙏🏾👍💚
My pleasure and thank you for your kind compliments. Learning keeps me young. All the best!
Best thing I learned, which should have been obvious actually, is not to measure coarse and fine salts by volume, expecting the same results in recipes. I am learning pressure canning, from the best sources, but I may well have made this mistake.
I have been buying "pickling salt" to use cooking, and just grinding some of it fine for sprinkling.
The reason salt is called pickling salt is simply because it doesn't add cloudy chemicals to your pickles.
Correct, that salt is important for pickling. That chemical is IODINE, ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY IN YOUR BODY, BY THE THYROID GLAND ETC. SO YOU NEED IT IN OTHER FOODS
Oh wow I didn't know that about pickling salt. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@xxkissmeketutxx There seems to be a lot of recipe books that do not tell you what grind they use. The odd book tells you straight away. For American canning books, they usually call "pickling salt" the finer grind. In Canada most "pickling salt" I have seen is a coarse grind.
Had I not realized this, I would have been using half as much salt, when using American canning recipes.
Potassium chloride, one of the ingredients in the Morton table salt, provides an essential ion -- Potassium. Adding potassium to the diet helps many rid the body of excess sodium and reduce retained fluid. Without potassium life is not possible. Many people are prescribed potassium chloride if they have to take certain blood pressure medications. So, it isn't "just another chemical" added to the salt.
Potassium can easily come from other foods. If salt was meant to also have potassium it would. It is a paradigmatic deficiency to think that people should be adding chemicals to every thing to make them better, when what is really needed is a RETURN to a "balanced," chemical free and unprocessed diet. Let's try that. 😉
You have to be very careful with potassium chloride because it can literally stop your heart if you take too much of it. People we're heavy dosing potassium chloride many years ago and it was a trend. I tried it and my heart about jumped out of my chest. potassium chloride has to be very carefully monitored because too much or too little has equal problems. Food sources are best and low dose 99 mg tablets available at your health food store can be added to your diet.
Don't be ridiculous--potassium is in most fruits and lots of vegetables. Just eat real food, and put plain salt on it if you like.
@@simonestreeter1518 plain table salt throws off your mineral levels. That's where sea salts are so much better because at least it does have up to 84 various minerals in small amounts. White "morton" table salt has been raped of all nutrients with just iodine added back in. It's actually terrible for you.
Potassium chloride can counteract too much sodium chloride (table salt) - as in, you ate something too salted. It is also found in salt substitutes.
I will never buy regualr table salt, again. I am so glad I watched this video.
I JUST had bought a new container of table salt... it has dextrose and that other crap in it. Dammit.
All natural salts have trace amounts of heavy metals including lead, mercury, arsenic and uranium to name a few. So what's more harmful, dextrose or carcinogenic heavy metals? If I were a health nut and wanted to live as long as possible I would choose the purest form personally.
@@williambrandondavis6897 so you only buy table salt
@@williambrandondavis6897 which salt you buy?
@@williambrandondavis6897 I have found canning salt to be the cleanest so far.
The only salt that doesn't make my legs swell is Himalayan pink salt and Celtic sea salt. The rest I stay away from
All sea salt has micro plastic meanwhile. The Celtic one has as well high Aluminium, good for Alzheimer, if you want to forget earlier
Lowering salt consumption also makes legs swell less. You should check that problem at specialist because your legs shouldn't be that visibly affected by salt, it could be vein, lymph or even kidney problem at early stages and some of those problems can become very nasty if keep progressing.
@@josiahrandolphbaldwin8272 they need to check out K2 .
@@josiahrandolphbaldwin8272 would increasing calcium consumption in an elderly person with congestive heart failure and high blood pressure help keep swelling down out of the legs and feet?
@@josiahrandolphbaldwin8272 Wow, thank you for this information. I will start incorporating vitamin k and calcium into their diet. I read that when given 1,000mg of calcium per day should help with water retention. I will also check which foods are high in vitamin k as well. Blessings!
I must agree about the 'Himalayan' salt and I've been using for years. Seems to have much more flavour 'punch' than the regular iodised types so you end up using less of it for a better result :)
Wait til you taste the Celtic.
@@AwareHouseChef Just ordered some online as no-one seems to stock it in my outpost location :)
From experience, things that excite your tastebuds are not necessarily the healthiest options - for instance salts with potassium chloride (salt substitutes) are proven to be healthier because they reduce the sodium intake.
Pink Himalayan has a different flavor one must adjust to. Dollar tree was selling it
I found I had to use much more Himalayan pink salt than regular white sea salt or table salt
@@carynmartin6053exactly it doesn’t make sense….
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 ❣️
Hi! Thank you for reaching out! I would imagine that real deal Hawaiian salt is amazing! It’s in my bucket list to try some in Hawaii. All the best to you!
@@AwareHouseChef Awwww ! I would love to show you and your family where it’s scraped off the boulders by the cliffs. Have a peaceful holiday season 🌺

The black salt is pretty, use it on food for guests, makes nice presentation.
Redman's Real Salt is my favorite.
Has become on of mine as well. Cheers!
I notice it's pink and the flavor is a lot like Himalayan
@@jacobusderottmann1000 it does but it's still unique
yes!
Nice!
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 !
Cool! Never had it that way! Thanks for sharing!
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.
It is a wonderful salt that I like to use for finishing. Thanks for sharing!
I also love Maldon. It make everything taste better. I use it as my cooking salt. It makes soup, potatoes, etc. taste so much better!
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.
Super awesome of you to mention David! Thank you for reaching out! I have had tried many gray salts and I wondered if they were of the same type as Celtic . If you have a chance, watch my follow up video about micro plastics. Redmond salt actually gives kudos to Celtic sea salt. All the best!
To say it's just a brand is a bit misleading, Brittany is one of the few places in Europe which has maintained a Celtic culture, along with Wales and Ireland. Culturally it has many similarities with Wales. Also Brittany, at least since the time of Julius Caesar and the Gallic Wars has had strong naval traditions.

Thank you!! It would be be fun!! I geek out on all things kitchen anyway!!🥰 ramekins, spatulas, pans, dishes, glasses, silverware, spices, specialty plates, bakeware, utensils, LOVE it ALL
Always my favourite!
My husband has a himalayan pink salt inhaler and it works great! Helps mucus, any kind of breathing problem 👍 and he has asthma.
Yes I have that one too.. purchased right at dollar tree ..I brought mine 17 of them
Ordinary salt would be just as good. Himalayan salt exports are a scandal.
@@quixotiq no, table salt is definitely not the same as Himalayan pink salt! Totally different. Do your research!
@@michelledeloria8712 I dont think it would be the same. It cost minimum of $15 not
$1
They sell 1lb bags of Himalayan salt at the Dollar Tree here.
I read an article that said either Himalayan pink salt or Celtic sea salt were the best. Lol, I decided on Himalayan. Will try Celtic next time.
I used to work in the Cargil salt plant, in Newark CA. You should take a tour there. The salt is "farmed".
Tricalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate, Magnesium Carbonate, and Yellow Prussiate of soda (YPS), is what is used as an anti caking agent at Cargil Salt.
Yup, I still remember when Perrier water was recalled because they didn't get the recipe right
What dyou expect with the name Cargill? Synonymous with very bad "food"
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.
Not at all! Thank you for the information! I really appreciate you reaching out!
Your comment was very interesting, edward. I am glad you posted it.
It worked a lot better in the 70’s! 😂. Best times were the 70’s and 80’s!

Agreed 💯 times over.👌🏻
When I saw kalas salt i knew were in Greece 🇬🇷💙
Another aspect of salt is that SOME naturally have heavy metals - pink salt being one of those (varying degrees of heavy metals depending upon where it is mined). I follow the Lead Safe Mama who tests foods, etc. for heavy metals - found that my drinking bottle that I carried while hiking had lead in it as a "seal" on the bottom. Its helpful to reduce consumption of heavy metals, as often they settle in the brain and lead to cognitive decline. ( I rely on Celtic salt which is not high in heavy metals).
Yes, mentioned this too, and stopped using Celtic Salt because of having a genetic bend toward ALZ I don’t need extra heavy metals on or in my food. I was so sad as I too loved the flavor of Celtic on salads or raw veggies, and grilled asparagus with Steak to finish them both. It’s flavor is just so yummy. Darn Lead!
Celtic was not in a good range though on her report unless she updated after I just read it in the last few months. She recommends others as lower so switching to them.
@@SouthFloridaSunshineAlzheimer, to me, is a modern disease caused by an inappropriate diet, and environmental toxins play a part sure. Other animals do not have this, only us. If you want to completely prevent the disease and rid yourself of other potential or existing illnesses, why not do carnivore? That is what we are all supposed to be.
I've been using Pink Himalayan sea salt for over 8 years now. Through some of the home steaders I'm subscribed to, I recently learned the U.S. has its' own mined salt found in the state of Utah. The company name is Redmond's Real Salt and I'm seriously considering switching after learning about the harsh conditions the workers in Pakistan are subjected to mining Pink Himalayan sea salt. Thanks so much for sharing this info.
I found out about Redmond later on. I did a follow up video all about it. Thanks! ruclips.net/video/Wt3ZUC2Meuo/видео.html
IMARI, what are you waiting for? join the rest of us.
@@brachashighhopeshomestead226 I'm going to order very soon.
The grey Celtic salt is one he has here. I like the fine ground for finish and the coarse for cooking and I put a pinch in my water for electrolytes (the minerals in the salt as well as the salt). The pink salt carries necessary iodine however, eating red fish or seasoning with kelp (and no, ice cream kelp is not the same LOL😂) will fulfill your iodine needs.
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.
Glad to be of service! Cheers!
I use Diamond Crystal Kosher salt also. I have to order it from Amazon as most of our local grocery stores and Costco only carry Morton’s Kosher salt. Since they’re not the same and I dont need to learn how to season again, I’ll stay with Diamond Crystal Kosher salt!
The pink Himalayan sea salt is actually from an ancient ocean, which was pushed upwards when two tectonic plates collided forming the Himalayan mountains. Not that unusual, it's why you might spot fossilized seashells, if you ever go into the Grand Canyon.
... Or pools of evaporated sea water from a worldwide flood. Like the noah story that every continent seems to have a legend about. Either or. The earth is kinda ancient so who knows for sure. : /
That's Amazing. ALL of it formed from the BIBLICAL ACCOUNT of NOAH'S FLOOD. Confirmation!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Delusional
That's why there's iodine in it!!
There was a VAST inland sea in the middle of the US/Canada 200k years ago (or so, DON’T quote me) Here in N. Michigan we also have fossilized sea creatures. Mostly in what was mud/clay but solidified into rock.
For me in Germany, Maldon sea salt has been the best one so far. It's very affordable if you live in Europe. Bought a 1,4 kg bucket which is still more than half full after one year. I still use cheap salt for seasoning pasta water, however I figure I should switch over to rock salt as it's the traditional way and free of those nasty dosing aids.
Try Celtic. Thank you for sharing!
I used to use regular table salt in pasta water...then I switched...the taste difference is incredible! 🤪
Sehe ich genauso ❤👍👍🇩🇪
@@michellekrueger5122 Placeboes are 50% effective. Educate yourself.
I now use one from France called Sel de Guerande, it is grey and a bit ore briny than Maldon. it's also only £10 per kilo from the main sites. I absolutely love it.
Have you tried "Real Salt" yet? A lot of people seem to love that one. It's priced and looks much like the Celtic salt. I love how you used tomatoes to test it. Tomatoes and cucumbers really shine with salt.
It's my go to salt, Celtic salt here in Canada is way more expensive but I did enjoy the taste so I can understand why the chef recommended it.
@@adriand6477 I'm using the Real Salt as my fine granular. I use it together with celtic on my tomatoes. The flavor is amazing. The finishing salts I find are best on meats, fish, and anything cooked with them.

Informative tutorial, I enjoyed the comedic delivery. I never thought to read the ingredient list for salt, thank you for the info.
You're very welcome! Thank you for the kind compliment!
I came across the different types of salt, versus the white refined salt that is said to be dangerous due to extrem heating, and added anti clumping agent etc. So I have for the last 14 years basically stuck with Pink Himalaya salt, Black Himalaya salt, Balinese Seasalt that I bought straight from the little business on the beach in South East of Bali. Then I had some black Indian salt some years ago. Now in my humble room in Thailand I have also Thai Sea salt, and Lunn Desert salt summer harvest from Northern India. I also tried the Real Salt from Utah, very nice. Yummy and healthy stuff!

A fool and their money are soon parted.
I remember the balancing trick with that exact type of salt shaker. Once you got it to balance, you blew away all the excess salt, and just a couple of grains would be holding it in place
Good times David. Cheers!
I have tried everything you have, except for the Greek salt. But there is another you don't have listed - Kalahari Desert salt. I picked a pound up a few years ago, and it is my favorite salt, even more than the Celtic and Himalayan. If you find any authentic, try it, and see what you think. I use the Celtic salt more as a finishing salt for meats, and Himalayan as my go-to daily salt. But for something where I want the salt to lift the flavor on a simple, single-item food, (tomatoes, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, watermelon, fresh cucumber, etc...) the Kalahari is my go-to.
I used to love Kalas but they’ve doctored it with crap recently.
@@AwareHouseChef I'm so sad about this. I've been buying it for years at Titan, and never even noticed they did this.
@@Nina-xv4ie my apologies
Himalayan salt is my 'everyday' salt. We also have the moist grey Celtic sea salt and it has a very delicious, ocean brine taste to it. We find it *very* salty, so a little goes a long way, and it does exactly what fish sauce does to dishes. It gives a hint of 'ocean' flavor. Probably why it tastes so good on seafood! We keep the Celtic sea salt in a ceramic salt grinder, which is a must because the moist salt would turn any regular steel shaker or grinder to rust in a heartbeat. We have a wooden salt cellar on our kitchen table filled with Maldon salt for sprinkling on food as we eat. It gives a delicious salty crunch to anything and is especially good on meat and vegetables.
Thanks for sharing!
Or, rose quartz.
Christine.......I didn't know about keeping the celtic sea salt in a ceramic salt grinder. Going to get both today and thanks for the other great tips with your salt usage.
I don't know what all the hype about Himalayan pink salt is; it's just rose quartz/halite (rock salt).
Himalayan Salt contains heavy metals - Send some of for analysis you’ll find it is laden
Love this, Celtic sea salt is my fave, too!
Thank you for being honest!
I don’t know your work, but I did enjoy the presentation and thought that it was pretty impressive the way you could tell the salt blindfolded.
The first time I saw a toxin on the side of the salt container, that particular salt went off any future shopping list, and the container I had was only good for salting the sidewalk out front in winter.
I was not aware that the yellow Prussiate ingredient which occasionally shows up and disqualifies no brand of salt for purchase, at least from my perspective, also had a cyanate in it.
That’s good to know and I sure appreciate it.Thank you.
My pleasure! In all fairness Celtic sea salt is pretty easy to spot out. It has a wonderful flavor. I own a restaurant and buy hundreds of pounds of it. All the best
@@AwareHouseChef : That’s another excellent point. I’ve never heard of it before your video, but fully intend to try it now as soon as I can find it. :-)
With the oceans so polluted, can we still have clean seasalt, without plastic, or other garbage, like mercury??
That for me was the reason to buy himalayan salt ; not polluted.
By the way ; I buy it as bigger rocks (1-2 inch diameter) and pulverize it myself, because there are effectively imitations on the market.
Did a follow up video just on that. Check it out. Thanks for the comment!
As a nurse I found this very informative. I prefere Himalayan because I need the iodine. Thank you for posting.
Thanks kathy! I appreciate the kindness! I'm finding out more and more that salt that is extracted from a mine is healthier than salt that is extracted from the sea because of microplastics. I'm doing a lot more research on that now.
Nascent Iodine on Amazon is a good supplement
The problem with Iodinized salt is... if you are deficient ..you need to consume to much salt to get it...in America iodine was put in bread ..but commercial bakeries replaced iodine with bromides...decades ago ..Australia recently ban bromides in bread and returned to iodine...as a study showed increased obesity and lower IQ in school age children..now I bake my own bread with King Arthur organic bread flour it’s bromide free...and had taken Nasent Iodine for 2 years..in that time I lost 42 lbs without trying..Bromides were used to treat seizure disorders in the 60s but they stopped using it because it’s retained..
Thank you so much! This video was so informative and it’s frustrating to find out that they’re putting crap in table salt. It makes sense why it’s cheaper than sea salt though. I learned so much from this!
Thank you Meghan. I appreciate you reaching out and your kindness. All the best!!
I've tried regular mortons, various "sea" salts, I like himalayan, but recently came across the Fleur de Sel, wow! "finishing" salt? Who knew (not me). Feel so "sophisticated" sprinkling a pinch on everything ;-) Great taste and love the soft crunch. Have to try the Celtic next?
Yea! Same family of salts. Yours is a very expensive salt and it is delicious. You can make your own. Check out Alex the French guys website. He show you how to make it. Cheers!
Just don’t buy Fleur de Sel (meaning ’flower of salt’) from the mediterreanian. The mediterranian sea is polluted, so is your salt. Celtic salt is supposed to be clean. For as much as any sea is still clean. I only use Himalayan, deep from under the mountains and pure, packed with minerals, not found in other salts. And I absolutely LOVE the taste of it! On top of that, here in Europe it’s cheaper than the ’famous’ sea salts. Works perfect for me! 😂
@MaggieGoossens interesting your comment on Mediterranean salt being polluted. Any reference? From looking, it’s reported the Atlantic, Pacific are polluted and to seek salt from the Mediterranean. Iodized salt is done to a lot of “sea salt” so buyers beware. Iodized is not the same as iodine. Love all this global trade barriers free? So many Corp chemicals, every year over a decade ago, Govs were approving on ave 2000 new ones every year. God Bless our food to thy use.

I find Himalayan salt to be saltier (double) than iodine salt.
Me too. Maybe Bc it’s chunky?
I find that also to be true. Especially if your cooking with the bigger grains, I use less.
I put mine in a grinder then use less.
Funny I find the opposite, after using Himalayan for several years other salts are too salty.
Honestly the best damn video I have ever watched on salt...kinda thirsty now too!
Well done!!!

LOL I just sipped spring water I swear I tasted salt lol
that's funny, I got thirsty too watching it
@@Karina-gs9bc 🤣👍
Super helpful video. Thanks alot man!
My pleasure. You’re the best!
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! 😊
My son is there now. Wonderful country. Thanks for sharing!
Himalayan salt can be purchased, of all places, at Dollar Tree...SALT 84...HIMALAYAN PINK SALT...Fine Grain...1 Pound bag...Contains up to 84 minerals and trace elements....This pink bag of salt cost only $1.00, plus tax. It seems to a very high quality. I have been using it for about two years. No odd taste. Tastes just like regular salt to me. Peace!
But, then, you wouldn’t be able to viciously overcharge, the way most stores do.
I've been binging your content. Well informed, well shot, well edited. You're a funny guy too, love your personality. You deserve all the success and more that will come your way
Super kind of you to say Nathan! Very humbled and thankful for your comment! All the best!
IT'S ABOUT SALT , IDIOT !
Great video. Thank you. In my estimation, perfect in your presentation.
Thank you! All the best!
Great review. I love different mineral salts and have even accomplished making some custom mineral salts myself.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for watching! My pleasure!
As a kid on a fishing boat, I remember the toilet emptied directly into the ocean. I can't help thinking of that when passing on the "sea salt".
Fish and whales poop too
@@user-nl9vp4ye7f you took the word's right out of my mouth !
🐳🐙🐡🐠🐟🐬🐋🐊🕊🐧🦀🦂=💩
No, the fish you eat ate the poop. Then the bigger fish ate the poopy fish. You catch the bigger fish, catch poop eating crab and shrimp, eat them and voila... you're a poop eater.
@@johncooper8839 Haha. Yep. I don't understand why people eat that crap, literally. Yuck.
It is like manure, on your vegetables. Yummy. 😋
I just ordered the Kalas salt a couple of weeks ago from Amazon. I'm lacking in iodine and it seemed a good source. It does have an additive that is perfectly stable under 400°. I use it as a finishing salt. It has a wonderful flavor and natural iodine.
Great! Glad you like it!
Iodine evaporates,
@@bovineexcrement8635 Generally the iodine used in salt is in an iodide salt form (Ki or NaI - potassium & sodium iodide salts), not molecular iodine (I2). Much less chance of sublimation in an ionic salt compound. The reason sublimation occurs is that the iodine (I - I or I2) molecules in the solid are only held together by weak forces. A Ionic salt crystal act like one big molecule with myriad trillions of positive and negatively charged ions held together by their charges... a much stronger bond.
Great video my friend. Thank you!
My pleasure thank you for the kindness!!
Thank you for the video!! I’m going to give it a try!
Great! My pleasure! Thank you for reaching out!
I was told that I should lower my salt intake for my blood pressure. HA! My biggest addiction ~butter. Not just butter, salted butter. Live free or die.
I was hooked on butter until Lurpak reached £5 now l eat Heinz Mayo on bread instead yum yum its heavenly
@@nordoceltic7225 a high salt diet in combination with fats and sugars. Salt can very much cause heart complications. Your heart is an electrical power plant. Salt is an electrolyte, therefore it,most definitely has an effect on the heart. It can also through off your phosphorus levels which in turn effects your calcium and vit D levels. Its all interconnected. Salt is healthy, too much salt is deadly. It makes the whole body work,harder than it has to. Also too much salt can clog your cells and prevent water and other minerals from,entering or exiting. This is why some people feel bloated or thirsty after eating a lot of salt, now your blood pressure is high because your heart has to work harder. The part you said about salt pushing someone with heart failure over the edge is right.
@@johnjohn-cs9eu mayo is way betrer than butter for toasting bread.
@@abrahamlincoln6619 You are so......... right 👍👍👍👍👍
Dont lower your NaCl intake, just increase your H2O consumption. Homeostasis will balance out your intracellular and intercellular by way of diffusion. Which will cause your vessels to vasodilate and dump excess NaCl via the renal system. Hypertension solved.
Thank you. Very informative video. I’ve never tried Celtic Sea Salt 🤔. A must try.
I appreciate that ! All the best!
Where do THEY sell it??
@@marianistazos5185At your local farmer's market or Amazon.
I love the Celtic Sea Salt...Amazon! It's grey in color and very moist so you need a grinder... Amazon sells it in a grinder and then I buy extra in a bag. Also, it's "salty" so a little goes a long way! DELICIOUSLY GOOD... 👍
@@terryparrott9127 So glad! Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thanks for the great info!
My pleasure!
I LOVE that you're honest about using affiliate links. I have zero issues with supporting a creator that is honest about using them. Good on you, captain. Love your content; my only constructive feedback would be to question why the footage looks like near-raw S-log footage that hasn't been color-graded?
Thanks Snowman! I just hadn’t a clue about color grading back then. I think Im getting better. Long way to go. I appreciate you for reaching out. All the best
I believe in being loyal. You brought the information, deserve the benefits of your research and labor!!
I love the "Celtic Grey Sea Salt" for all the same reasons you do! My fav, the way it makes veggies pop!
It makes seafood taste even better than it does the vegetables. All the best!
It looked as though if you substitute regular salt for Kosher salt, then halving the quantity would be just about right (better yet, slightly less than half). According to your measure, the regular weighed about twice as much as the Kosher.
The Celtic salt was an interesting read as far as mineral composition goes. The natural balance of Sodium to Potassium is somewhat similar to what we need in our bodies, since we need more Potassium than we normally get. Many sports drinks also supply much more Sodium and do little to replenish Potassium. Nice variety of trace minerals too.
Morton makes a "Lite Salt Mixture", which has Iodine, but is about a 50/50 mix of Sodium salt and Potassium salt. Unfortunately, it does contain the declumping agents as well, but it's a healthier mix than regular Sodium salt.
All mined salts are formed by ancient seas which dried out and were buried, sometimes left exposed, like salt flats, and sometimes uplifted by geologic events, the uplift of the Himalayas when India crashed in to Asia for instance. So he’s not a geologist, this is a great video. I’m trying Celtic sea salt.
Read the story of Redmonds here in the US....
Redmond Real Salt®
The Way Salt Should Be
We think salt should be simple. It shouldn’t contain artificial additives or unhealthy pollutants. And it shouldn’t be stripped of beneficial trace minerals. It should be sea salt the way nature made it- nothing added, nothing taken away. Redmond Real Salt is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah where it’s safe from modern pollutants. It’s pure, unprocessed, and full of trace minerals that give it one-of-a-kind nutritional benefits and a subtly sweet flavor that brings out the best in each bite.
Just discovered your channel this morning & I’ve watched several videos. How in the HELL do you only have 17,000 subscribers? You should be at least 500,000. I just subscribed! Keep up the great work.
Man, I can’t thank you enough ! That means everything. The algorithm doesn’t seem to favor me right now. But it is still a relatively young channel so you’re inspiring me to continue pressing on. All the best to you!
Fab video. Nice, relaxed, no "you must or else" vibe. Subscribed. 😎🇬🇧
The difference between a real person and a youtuber? A real person will leave the failed salt balancing act in the video. King!
Thanks! All the best!
I had no idea! Thank you for this. Fascinating! *subscribing*
Thanks for the sub and the kindness. Cheers!
Thanks for the info!
My pleasure. Cheers!
earned your self a subscription. I'll spend some time with your past vids now.
Welcome Daniel! Thanks!
@@AwareHouseChef me too my salty friend (:!
@@keithlong1387 thanks! Cheers!
Same here! I find Himalayan pink salt "saltier" than regular table salt. Now I am curious about the others. Fleur de sel is pronounced fler (roll the r) de cell. 😉❤️. This was surprisingly interesting. Thank you!
Love the humor & wisdom !
Instant fan. Thanks for videos
Thank you Kara! Gotta laugh and smile... Always!! Cheers!
WOW. Great info - THANKS!
My pleasure!
I enjoyed this video! Thanks!!
Thank you Chef! All the best!
In the west we use Redmond salt, comes from a mine that is in the middle of nowhere, high mineral and salt. Really good.
Very much looking forward to trying it!
@@AwareHouseChef try Celtic sea salt too
Ancient inland ocean! Loaded with all the trace minerals and elements that our depleted soils no longer possess.
@@wcstrawberryfields8011 try shilijit mountain blood
Redmond's Real Salt is the best. We buy in 50lb bags of course salt and regrind in blender for table use. Very economic and no chemicals and not forced dryed. The best mineral salt!!
As long salt is getting hard in package, that's the right one.I like also darker colour. We in Poland 🇵🇱 having from mining production.
🇺🇸 ❤️ 🇵🇱
@Island Mike Poland has salt mines.
I've been in the salt mines of Wieliczka. We went there, I think, like 25 years ago, as a choir on a cultural exchange because the village I spent my youth in has a special bond with Poland because part of the Polish airborne divisions and its general, Sosabowski, landed there for the attempt to occupy the 'bridge too far', Arnhem, the Netherlands in 1944.
The 'cathedral room' deep in the salt mine (it was(?) mined, not by pumping brine but by actually hacking out the salt) has such a nice acoustic and it was wonderful to sing there. I still have some salt crystals from there in my stones/minerals collection. They will never be used for cooking ;)
Cool ! Learned a lot!
My pleasure! All the best
Great video!!! I just bought some Celtic Sea salt with your link, can't wait! We also watched your video on cleaning stainless steel pots and I'm gonna try the orange thunder🙏🏻
Thank you so much!! I greatly appreciate the kindness and you reaching out. Let me know how you like the Celtic salt. Cheers!
I never knew listening to a Salt lecture would b so informative.....excellent and refreshing .Good job sir
Thank you so much Paula! All the best!
This is the most informative, entertaining and healthy for the body and the mind 15 minutes of anything I've seen on You Tube in countless hours of watching over several years. I look forward to much more of the collective generational wisdom you have to share with us all. Thank you for the blessing of a day started with laughter and learning, 2 things I love as much as good food, good health, good company.
So incredibly kind of you to say! Very humbling! Thank you so much for reaching out! All the best!
great info ! Thank you
My pleasure!
I felt it to my soul when you said, "It actually worked a lot better in the 70's."
Everything did. 🥺
Feeling it more now than ever. Cheers
Celtic sea salt is my favorite too! Redmans real is a close second, ties with himalayan pink salt.
We're on the same page. Cheers!
The pink 'Himalayan' has a softer flavor than celtic salt(also my fav). Use differently.
Thanks for the service on the salts, great you tube. !
My pleasure. I did a follow-up video on microplastics. Please watch it. It was after the fact. Cheers! ruclips.net/video/Wt3ZUC2Meuo/видео.html
Learned a lot from this video and thank you!
So glad to be of assistance. All the best!
This is really interesting. Thanks for the info.
Thank you!!
Iodine is super importatnt in our diet, but fancy salts of course don't have it, so more people having issues. Sawlt. Who knew.
Iodine can cause issues with certain processes like cheese making.
Iodine is important for the thyroid. I buy sea salt that's plain and simple salt. I figure I get enough Iodine salt when I eat out.
Zero argument here about the additives just your choice of words
Iodide placed in table salt is a poor garbage dump source of iodine.
@@undaschtood11 What non-garbage sources do you have? Seafood, laced with PCB and mercury?
Thanks for such a special comparison video.
Thank you for your kindness Cliff! Appreciate you reaching out. All the best!
Awesome video and very informative!
Thank you! All the best!
This man is a saltologist. 👍
So much more to learn and share. Cheers!
Don't knock it till you try it... I'm a salt man myself... Love it can't eat without it... I find the finer the grains the better the flavor... Especially with french fries...
@@AwareHouseChef Celtic... bar none. My daughter likes pink ... but Celtic Salt Is The Best. It the healthiest and best tasting. Iodine was added during the Cold War... for Radiation Poisoning.
@@robertsherman8887 I love the Celtic salt
I never knew salt could be so interesting. I have Kalas in my cupboard!
Thank you! Just be a little careful because the new Kalas that they have out has anti-caking agents in it. All the best!
Thank you that was very informative.
My pleasure!
I am a salt snob. I admit it. I am absolutely in love with salt. My BP is 101/65..
I use either Himalayan or Celtic-when I can get it. I just love the Celtic -it just tastes better but I can only buy it at a health food store. And thanks for talking about Himalayan--I didnt know this info.
You're welcome! All the best!
Thank you! Very interesting!
Thanks Michele! All the best!
