Guest guest Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Linda, I'm a salt addict, LOL. I much prefer salt to the sweet. I even have " No Salt " to just cut back every once in awhile. And it's not like I add a lot of salt but moreso eat things that are salty such as crackers, chips or peanuts. I'd like to know more about the benefits of this type of salt. I thought I've read here at the group from a member some time back that you don't have to use as much because of the potency (as you mentioned) as well as it just being better for one than table salt. I have a sea salt (not celtic that I'm aware of). I guess it might be a bit more potent than regular salt - I don't know that it is " that " different to me as you indicated (maybe my palate has adjusted to it as I haven't used table salt in quite sometime). Anyway, you all have got me thinking about buying that stuff as well. Sounds really good. I don't need those fancy jars, I'd just by it buy the bag. Give us a report if you cook with it. My sea salt is the only thing I've cooked with, ever since getting it (I'm getting a bit low on it now). S. p.s. Linda, I was waiting at the salt bin for you, for nearly 6 hours! Geeez!

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 You are right, celtic sea salt does taste more salty; at least it does to me. i am not an expert or anything on what the sodium levels are or why it has a much richer flavor... i just know what my tongue tells me. i am sure you can use it in cooking, though i don't right now; i just use it to season the food on my plate. i use regular sea salt in my cooking. But i am sure it will dissolve in cooking just like regular salt crystals do and the way sugar crystals dissolve. You can test that out for yourself with s small dish of water. ~ pt ~ The universe is change. ~ Marcus Aurelius Antoninus ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " linda " <lindai81 wrote: > > I went ahead and bought a itsy bitsy amount of Celtic Sea Salt yesterday at our wonderful store Sundance.

LOL I am definitely going to get some and compare. Maybe Whole Foods will have some. I'm in need of nutritional yeast flakes anyway. Oh I tried their hummus mix and it was pretty good. It was runny though - I'd add less water then they suggest. I never really add lemon juice to the homemade. Their mix is lemony and I really liked that. I gotta get lemon juice to have on hand when I make it homemade.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Be sure to let us know what you think about the sea salt. One little grain should do it! I went and looked at your picture. Hope you weren't sniffing the darn stuff and getting high. Daughter guessed what it was right off the bat. She is so damned smart. I don't know if it looks like Celtic...mine is so moist, oozing with liquid. Yours certainly does look like crystals. Is it kind of gray like there is dirt in it? And does anyone know if that is dirt in it? You are going to get high blood pressure one day with all that salt. Salt on peanut butter? No, chocolate on peanut butter. Actually, chocolate on cashews is to die for. I had a little problem with " here is a picture of mine. " Reminds me of " you show me yours and I'll show you mine.

" Sea salt <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_salt> comes in fine or larger crystals. In nature it includes not only sodium chloride<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_chloride>, but also other vital trace minerals. Edible rock salts may be slightly greyish in colour due to this mineral content. " You are going to get high blood pressure one day with all that salt. Salt on > peanut butter? I probably sound worse than I actually am with salt. I see people really pour the stuff on. I don't use a whole lot as a condiment and I don't think I add an excessive amount to my cooking. Yes, salt on pb. For my dessert this evening I had about 2 tbls. worth of pb with about 5 or 6 of the salt crystals. It's really good. Try it sometime. No, chocolate on peanut butter. Actually, chocolate on > cashews is to die for. Chocolate on salted cashews. Ben and Jerrys ice-cream that has the salty pretzles is fantastic (and not vegan obviously). Also Ye Seekers once had a bulk bin item - it was a small pretzel (finger sized, crunchy, boxy and hollowed out) that had pb inside. All great.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I'm sorry...I meant let us know what you think about the Celtic sea salt, not just sea salt in general. Is that what meth looks like? You are ahead of me then. LOL And just what is it that you do for a living might we ask? I have to go read those articles you sent and then I will respond to the rest of this...provided I remember. LOL I haven't picked my memory up at the memory care place. I have got to go take a picture of that place and it's sign so you know I am not joking. linda " subprong " <subprong > Hi Linda, > > On 2/7/06, linda <> wrote: > > > > Be sure to let us know what you think about the sea salt.

I have to go read those articles you sent and then I will respond to the > rest of this...provided I remember. LOL Looks like you said it was 5.69 per lb. versus $56 per pound at the website. I know I'm not going to pay that much for salt. I aint the George Steinbrenner of condiments. Will not overpay! I haven't picked my memory up at the memory care place. I have got to go > take a picture of that place and it's sign so you know I am not joking. I hope you remembered to take the pic of the place. If so, remember to send it so that I may remember where I dropped my memory off as well. Unfortunately my mind still uses the ole SIMM technology. Big and clunky with not much in 'er. S.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Can someone please tell me- is the celtic seasalt meant to be moist when bought? I have found some here on eBay.au that is selling for $6 for 500 g which seems almost too good to be true considering what i saw on the links from Donna! But he does mention to someone who has asked about it that it is a wet/moist ( forget which he said) salt. Which means we'd be getting less for our money than if it were a properly 'dried' salt- but then that would mean yet another manufacturing process probably- and the idea is to keep away from it-right? so........ I would appreciate it if someone with celtic sea salt experience could help me out! TIA< Sharon in SA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
