What is Celtic Sea Salt?
Celtic sea salt, most oftenly referred to as Celtic salt, is a sea salt that, has gained a lot of recent popularity in Australia and the United States. It is harvested from along the coast of Brittany in France. Celtic salt is a bit wet to the touch, having a slightly greyish colour as it contains some clay from the region that salt flats are harvested. Such salt is harvested traditionally by use of only sun, wind, and the salt cultivators' knowledge and the least processing possible to help preserve the natural minerals and trace elements.
Celtic salt contains less sodium compared to standard table salt, and is rich with other minerals including magnesium, potassium and calcium, therefore considered to be a healthier option. These minerals also add flavour, which whilst subjective, we personally prefer to regular table salt.
