We always hear that salt is bad. I’m here to tell you otherwise.
Let’s be clear. Some salt actually is bad. Some has been altered so much from its original form that it is nutrition-less and therefore harmful (sounds like hundreds of other foods here in America). Some has added ingredients (you mean it’s not just salt?!). Some has been bleached. You want to tell me that those salts are bad? Yep, I believe you. I’ll avoid those.
But what about sea salt? Well, not all sea salts are created equally. (Actually, they were probably created equally but then altered to become less-than.) When I see “Sea Salt” at the store, I can definitely tell that some of them are not as nutritious. I avoid those and stick with Redmond Real Salt. It is my very favorite because it is absolutely pure and thus very delicious.
This is from the Redmond Real Sea Salt website:
Real Salt means – well, real, authentic salt. A quick glance at the ingredients label on most salts might surprise you! Many salts contain anti-caking agents and even dextrose (sugar). Others have been heat processed and stripped of their natural trace minerals. Real Salt brand, on the other hand, is unrefined and full of natural minerals and flavor – the way salt was meant to be savored.
Redmond Salt has over 60 trace minerals in it. This is wonderful since our bodies desperately need minerals in order to thrive! The Redmond folks add nothing to their salt, and they take nothing away. We’ve been using this salt for 8 years now and I love it.
I love that it is good for us, so I don’t have to hold back on using it. The beauty of this is that our bodies naturally tell us when enough is enough. Food that is too salty isn’t yummy. Some of us prefer our foods saltier than others. Could that mean that some of us need more minerals than others? Yes, I believe so.
I encourage you to look at the salt you’re using and be sure it can be used for good in your body. I have complete confidence in Redmond products…which is why the following is so much fun:
My very favorite of all Redmond products can be found in one lovely little package:
These are awesome for grilling season (don’t mind if I do).
