Sea Salt
What is the difference between kosher salt and celtic sea salt?
I believe celtic sea salt is more beneficial to A healthy diet rather than kosher salt. Which do you think is better for you & why?
Celtic salt refers to naturally moist salts harvested from the pristine Atlantic seawater off the coast of Brittany, France. These salts, which are rich in trace mineral content, are hand harvested using the Celtic method of wooden rakes allowing no metal to touch the salt. Celtic salts are available in coarse, stone ground fine and extra fine grain.
Kosher salt takes its name from its use in the koshering process. Kosher salt is regular salt that is so named for its use in the preparation of meat according to the requirements of Jewish dietary guidelines. It contains fewer additives, and has a more salty taste than ordinary table salt. It generally comes in flakes rather than granules. The flakes dissolve easily, and have a less pungent flavor than table salt. Due to the shape of the granules, there is simply less salt in a pinch of kosher salt than in a pinch of table salt. This is the kind of salt most often used on top of pretzels and on the rims of margarita glasses. It is important to note that all Kosher salt is not necessarily sea salt. Kosher salt comes in fine and coarse grain.
Since Celtic sea salt is rich in mineral content it is considered more healthy. Meanwhile Kosher salt is useful in preserving, because its large crystals draw moisture out of meats and other foods more effectively than other salts.
Healthwise, Sea Salts are considered beneficial because of the mineral content. Sea salt has a cleaner salt taste that accentuates other ingredients but isn’t an assault on the taste buds.
