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!

This is why I LOVE affiliate videos vs. sponsored videos. With affiliate videos, you get a small commish from sales of the various products, but you give your honest opinion and you present more than one product, all of which are products you would use personally. Sponsor videos are also cool, but it can be tough to sort out a legitimate opinion from a sponsored video, you never know how much of what is said is straight truth. With affiliate links, you present the products, explain why you like or don't like them, and then let the viewer decide if they want to try them, and which ones they want to try. Best option in my opinion for a revenue video format.

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.

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.

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.
@MR-xf8xg 3 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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! 😂

@@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. 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.

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.
