Greetings from Pakistan. Himalayan salt also comes in black, white and the rarest is brown/copper coloured. Alexander the Great's horse licked the rocks around Khewra Salt Mines, so it has been around a long time. There is also an asthma treatment centre inside the mines as the salty air has healing benefits for asthmatics.
Can you please tell me about lead, mercury and arsenic in the pink salt? I have used it for years and love it, but I am getting people telling me it's contaminated. I would like to dispell these rumors. Australia has told their citizens that it shouldn't be used.
@@joyful_tanya I would not trust what your 'government' or mainstream media has to say about anything. The same goes for me here in the US and pretty much every other place in the world. This is because our 'governments' do not want us to be healthy.
@@joyful_tanya I have never heard such things and I have not seen any laboratory tests - but I think it would be a very worthwhile undertaking. I have visited the Khewra Salt Mines where the pink salt comes from and it is very pure. There are certainly no microplastics or modern contaminants in it. A small railway takes workers and visitors 1 km inside the mountain which is amazingly entirely salt. Literally everything is salt and like marble it has patterns - some is pink, some black, some white and a tiny amount amber. It certainly looks pure. Inside the mountain is a clinic for asthmatic patients and there are several bathing ponds for different types of healing. It is quite massive. This is not the only salt mountain as it is part of The Salt Ranges which has salt everywhere. I have hiked in other mountains a long way away and also found high salt content in rocks there too. The geologists explanation for how all this salt formed lacks credibility to me and does not stand up to questioning, so its really a mystery why the mountains of salt are there. The wholesale price of salt is also very cheap - maybe 50 cents per kg, so unfortunately the workers don't earn much there.
@@DestinationTravel WOW! I had read about it but your explanation and description is fantastic. Thank you very much for explaining. I'm so very sorry that the workers are not paid a living wage for such dangerous work inside the salt mines. Maybe the contamination comes from the processers, if there is any. We purchase it in ground form either coarse or fine or sometimes larger crystals. Someone must purchase from the mines and grind it, package etc. But they're making a lot of money compared to the poor worker. Thanks again! ❤️
Natural salt in small amounts with the minerals remaining is best... yes, avoid salt you buy in stores, processed salt... real natural salt aids in things such as blood pressure, if you don't take too much, as it helps cells to retain water which helps keep blood pressure lower... table salt does not do this...
Rubbish, an average human body only requires traces of salt in the diet. anything more is detrimental....unless you are a snake oil salesman, then of course you want to push junk science and preudo health benefits .
A year and a half ago, I was suffering from extreme edema in my legs and feet. I'm disabled and cant walk more than a few steps. Of course, my Dr put me on a salt restricted diet, which didn't help. I quit white table salt, bought Himalayan pink salt and began drinking a glass of water with 2 big pinches of pink salt and the juice of half a lemon or lime or a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar every day. Suffice it to say, my legs and feet haven't swollen in over a year.
YES I have had the same results. I do a half tsp of redmonds real salt with a big pinch of potassium chloride with lemon and vinegar. No more swollen legs and no more high blood pressure.
@@corinnespanelewski4732 - Wow! I'm convinced. I'm gonna buy a pound of Redmond's Real Salt, some potassium chloride, lemon and vinegar, fire my physician and quit my BP medications (all four of them). Then and all will be right in my world. By the way, do you sprinkle it on or do you rub it in? You didn't say.
@@wickedcabinboy If I can take something that is all natural and safe and it works for me over taking a drug that has side effects and really didn’t work for me to begin why would I not do it. Adding electrolytes daily is really something most people need and had I not tried that I would never had realized it was what my body was lacking. My body uses the electrolytes rather than collecting in my body and raising my blood pressure. I am taking control of my health back maybe doctors have done great things for you but I am looking for more and it’s time for me to start looking into alternatives.
Fyi for migraine sufferers: Take a bit of one of the above mentioned salts under the tongue as soon as possible on onset of headache and chase down with water. Let it dissolve under tongue for a bit. Blessings, migraines can last up to 72 hours, they ate not just headaches. Prayers for healing fellow sufferers. 🙏❤️
Hmmm. I've noticed my headaches, which I've had since I was a small child, have significantly reduced since I started using Celtic Sea salt. Your comment just made me realize that could be the reason. Thank you😊
My horse loves the Redmond Rock. It's a rock of salt that hangs on a fence post by a rope. It's great for getting horses to drink more water, important in avoiding colic.
Redmond salt convert here. Absolutely love the sharpness in the taste. To me, after using multiple types of salt over the years, I've come to use Redmond as my go-to salt for everything. Excellent product
I'm a huge fan myself! I started using it at the advice of a functional medicine doctor I follow, & it is well worth the extra money vs table salt. This video confirms my thoughts on it!
@@lizabennett7979 and LEAD. I watched a video on the metals in our salts and there are others lower then Redmonds and Celtic. If you find anything different let me know please! I found Colima Salt to be one of the lowest so far for metals such as lead etc..
Different flavors from each but I support Redmonds. I lived in the area and knew many of the families and the owners of the mine. The bentonite clay is also great. They are honest, use third-party analysis reports, and are 100% American. They have really grown in the last 20 years. My only gripe with them is that they now cover their trucks so the salt rocks don't fall on the side of the farm roads when they make turns. No more free salt for us, LOL, but they are usually more affordable compared to the others.
I add a pinch of salt to my drinking water. I use pink salt, and I've used my daughter's Redmonds salt. My pink salt dissolves completely but the Redmonds always leaves sands/particles that do not. For this reason, I like my pink salt better.
The problem is that many of these Himalayan Salts are fake... they pigment the salt to make it look like original... take a good look and test different brands to see which perform better!
what I do ( now I can't speak on other salts I never used. only used Redmond) get pint mason jar, I add 5 tablespoon of salt, add filter water. put a plastic lid let sit on counter over night, then every day I shake the jar add 1 tsp in my water generally twice a day. called Sole now I never had grit doing that way.
I agree. I like Redmond’s but it doesn’t completely dissolve in hot water when I need to make a brine for fermenting veggies. Also, when I use it in casseroles, even the fine salt, there are always crunchy bites. I still use it, but I prefer the Celtic.
@@Anthony-630thank you i was going to order some!!! Aint there anything that doesn't harm us? Watch the video she throws the all seeing eye up smh cant trust anyone
@@yemisiaderuku2902 The border crossing to Gambia will always stick in my memory. Every time we went through, there were tons of vendors selling freshly roasted cashew nuts. The aroma was incredible!
Celtic Sea Salt is my go-to! I really appreciate the breakdown of information you gave, especially in regards to the minerals. This video was truly excellent!
I agree. It has helped me come to the conclusion that the difference in mineral values is minor enough that it really makes no difference from a health standpoint. That said, different people may find that their individual taste buds prefer one over the other, and mineral values may be a component there. The bigger and more likely question is, are those taste preferences a result of actual differences or perceived differences, or are other factors such as grain size and density bigger factors?
I have a salt collection from all over the world but the only salt places I have been are the Atacama desert in Chile, Hawaii to the volcanic salt, and Frances shores for Celtic grey salt. I love them all
6:44 After seeing this chart side-by-side comparison, I am glad that I am a *PINK SALT* girl! Plus I just like the flavor of pink salt better than Redmond's Real Salt. And I've only had Celtic Sea salt one time many years ago, so I would have to purchase that again and make a taste comparison at this time.
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this, both as a geologist, and someone with POTS. My doctor has recommended I have about 8-10g of salt a day, and I have realized that I really need an increased amount of potassium and magnesium as well. The fact that Redmond's doesn't have either of those 2 is incredibly helpful to know
1/2 cup Redmond, 1/2 teaspoons magnesium glycinate, 1& 3/4 teaspoons KCL (potassium chloride). I got the info from Mary’s Nest you tube title: The Easy Way To Make Homemade Electrolyte Drinks And Sports Drinks
@@Icewing10 government is one source I don't trust. What we don't need is an imbalance in our body. For one, my 1 kidney is at stage 3. I get blood tests 4 times a year to monitor. I'm 68 with low heart rate and fuss with my doctors about not wanting to be on prescription meds like they want everyone with a high normal bp. Used to be normal till they decided to lower those values.
I have always used sea salt sometimes Himalayan pink salt. I switched to Redmond salt for about a year. The slight constant discomfort in the kidney area is gone. I want to try Celtic salt. Thank you for the information. And yes, fermented red cabbage turned out very tasty.👌
You rock! I have all three salts in my cupboard, Redmond's has only been there for a few months. I have the least "experience" with it, but, I've often wondered some of the things you covered today. Thanks!
😂😂😂 o may. It is possible that micro plastic is in sea salt. So what. If you are pannicing about everything you eat or drink the best think you can do is to die. Stop thinking this way because sich thoughts can kill you. Don't forget that human body is such a sophisticate machine that is possible to hell itself if you don't disturb this proces with toxic thoughts. They are poissoning us for centurys but we are still here.
@@nebojsa1976 Pirans salt. Piran is a small tawn near the sea on Slovenian coast. And our salt is the sea which couldn't reach the sky again. It is not rafinirt and with non added iodin. It is a pure natural salt, a pure product of mother Nature and collected on an old way. I don't know if it is exported because it is not a big industrial production. Wish you all the best 🤗
I have ONLY used sea salt for many years now. And the information you give here is the reason why. I have used all three, but my personal favourite is Himalayan Pink salt.
@@susanlarouche1758 A shake or two will do , maybe 1/4 tsp or to taste. Redmond or Celtic is good. If you don’t get iodine from your diet add a couple drops occasionally. No artificial sweetener in this.
I use seltzer water, Celtic salt, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. I don't measure just add according to what I like, which is about a teaspoon of Celtic salt, a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar and of lemon juice. Then I mix it in a 32 ounce glass jar with some ice. It is very hydrating and energizing.
We use Redmonds and we love its flavor best. Just the issue of transportation and the number of companies processing other salts would win the argument for me. Redmonds also has the BOMB smoked salts. They were a game changer for my family not only on meats, but almost everything. They are pricey but just as pure.
I ordered a large bag of Redmonds and it has small grains of something in it that I was constantly biting down on. I was afraid it would break my teeth. It feels like sand. I contacted them and was told that it is silica and that it does not dissolve in water. I already have about 6 crowns and am not looking to break another tooth. I absolutely love Celtic Sea Salt. It does not have un-dissolvable ingredients in it.
Redmonds also makes Ancient Fine Sea Salt. I switched to that after experiencing the same issue with Redmonds Ancient Kosher Sea Salt. You might want to give it a try.
Nicely done video on a topic that is more important than most people realize. I have done "salt tastings" for nearly 20 years as part of my holistic health & nutrition business. I always include basic table salt as the last one of 5-6 salts being tasted, and my clients are usually shocked at the differences and appalled at the harsh metallic flavor of the table salt most of them commonly used up to then!
MH ~I see, thank you. Would you mind telling me out of the 5 or 6 different types of salt, which were in 1st and 2nd place as the best ones.?? ~I was told that ocean micro-plastics are in sea salt (thus to avoid it).
I'm very impressed at your analyses of these salts. 🇬🇾 However, I would never believe that filtration claim by those companies of filtering plastics...!
Many years ago when Redmond was starting to be carried in local stores here in Utah, I tried it on some Copper River Salmon I was grilling. I was amazed to taste the ocean so clearly! It's all I ever use. Buy local!
What a wonderful overview of these nutritious salts! This is the most detailed info I've yet encountered on beneficial salts, and it was so informative and deeply appreciated. 🙏🌟
I'm a Pink salt girl myself! I've been using only that for years. I have purchased Redmond's Real Salt a couple of times but I much prefer the flavor and a higher mineral content of Pink salt. And no microplastics.
@@cactusJenSherpa Pink Himalayan Salt; San Francisco Salt Co. Claims of no added iodine but it naturally contains more Iodine than Redmond's. No added ingredients. Great flavor.
Perfect timing on the release of another great video. I too quit using iodized salt decades ago and have all three of your test salts in my kitchen. Thanks for all the great info. Your videos are great reference material and I bookmark each one.
We switched to Redmonds a couple years ago & never looked back. We also, tho, have Celtic salt on hand. Like you, we avoid table salt like the plague. I even carry a tiny bottle of Redmonds w/me so that when we eat out, if we need salt, we don't have to use the shaker of table salt.
Literally my first video of yours and I subscribed because you detailed the the data and verbally cited the sources in video. Poised speech as well 👏👏✅
Excellent data and information here! Really loved the breakdown. There was a study that came out maybe a year ago, where a third party tested all of these salts and many more too, and found a lot of lead in salt across the board! One of the rare few with no lead was celtic sea salt, so I have been sticking to that one since then.
Great informative channel! For a full spectrum of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, there's also Irish sea moss, bladderwrack, and burdock root. You Rock!! 🙏🏼
We recently went on vacation in Indonesia, the salt they use there is local natural rock sea salt. Tastes pure, delicious, and very cheap, costs only $1 per 2lb.
Yes, when I spent many months living in Bali, I used Balinese unrefined salt, which I enjoyed and felt good with, though I usually only use Himalayan salt. (I find table salt unbearable, it makes me swell and has no flavor no matter how much I use.)
Thank you for your complete examination of the salts. Me personally Himalayan for me. After watching documentaries on Ghana and their electronics recycling and the pollution that’s produced,(yes I know from our electronics here too in the USA) I tend to like mined salt
EXCELLENT VIDEO... I sure learned a lot today. I noticed that professional Beef Jerky Bus. use Redmond's real salt. That is why I clicked on this video... glad I did... Great Video Thank you for sharing this.
Very well put together video, I have been curious about this for a while now and you broke this down elegantly with sources neatly linked to back up your information. Thank you🙏🏻
Hi from AU. Great info again, thankyou. We have the Himalayan Salt and the French Sea Salt in our home kitchen. We purchased the sea salt whilst on holiday in France. The salt formed on the surface of the water is called Fleur de Ser, salt or Flower of the Sea, in English. It is more delicate and more expensive hence it is used on food after serving as it's characteristics are lost in cooking.
Thank you for the video, it is very informational, love it. I used Himalayan salt for years and never had any problems. Recently i started keto diet and i started having dry mouth, couldn`t figure it out why. I watched video on UA-cam from dr. Barbara O'Neill or whatever her name is. She was talking about Celtic salt and how/when to use it so i tried. I got rid of the problems with my dry mouth problem and also have no muscle cramps. Used Himalayan same way and same amount before so for me Celtic is better choice. My conclusion is that we are all different and everyone react differently to each salt. You have to try and see which is better for you.
I didn't think too much of the salt's 'flavors' until I watched "Dating in the Kitchen" starring Zhao Lusi and Lin Shen. (Great drama, by the way)💗 He was, as a chef, teaching her about the difference in the taste of each salt and how the differences change the taste of the food. I immediately took all of my different salts out and started to taste them. I find it truly remarkable how each salt can change the flavor of a dish. I now use 'the salt' that flavors my food to the taste that I like. There doesn't seem to be any extreme differences in mineral content. The Grey salt has a sharp taste and the Himalayan a mellower flavor. To each his own.👍💕 Will have to look around; don't remember ever seeing Redmond's in Canada! Maybe in the larger City centers??
I use Himalayan pink salt. I have the Celtic sea salt but haven't tried it yet. Azure had a sale so I bought three one pound packages and I hope we like it. I tried Redmond's in the past but it has a high silica content and the little crunches annoyed me. I kept thinking one of my dental fillings just died. I tried to ignore the crunches but gave up. I support American businesses but I just can't handle the silica in my salt. If you can't guess I have a dental phobia. So back to Himalayan pink salt I went. I don't even keep white table salt in the house. Even for canning I use pink salt. Great video.
Had the best dental checkup I’ve ever had after I started using Redmond’s toothpaste. Hygienist could not believe the difference. Not gritty at all. The grittiness in the salt are the minerals. I notice them a lot more in the kosher salt. Did you try the fine?
thank you. Colombia has the 10th largest salt mine on earth Zipaquira, and also has sea salt in the Guajira (using plastic)..also the table salt is legislated for consumers that it must have added fluoride and iodine since 1990s! for anticaking ferro cyanide is added. we left the country.
WOW... I really enjoyed that! I have been using all three but lately have leaned on Redmonds... quite a different taste. I love this info and just subscribed and will start some fermenting! Very cool
Barbara O'Neill said to place a piece of celtic sea salt on your tongue before drinking water, and it helps absorb the minerals one needs into your body. Her videos are very old, so maybe CSS is different now.
Pink salt gives me a rash. It took me a long time to figure it out. I finally found out that the pink color is caused by decomposed crustacean shells. I didn't know I was allergic to crustaceans until I found out about the pink salt giving me an itchy rash, mostly on my stomach.
How did you manage to figure that out ? It is said the pink maybe the red is from natural Iron in the salt. That would mean the pink from crustaceans makes Himalayan salt not kosher? Not sure.
@@reccocon3442 ~ I found it out from my daughter who is a certified dietician and healthcare professional. She told me that there are millions of people who are allergic to crustaceans, and she recommended that I forgo using the pink salt for awhile to see if the rash would go away, so I took her advice and within a week or two the rash went away. I had been suffering with it for months.
@@jimyost2585 That is not proof, that is circumstantial evidence. Rashes come and go and your personal experience is useless. Stop eating dead muscle tissue maybe... and NO the red does NOT come from shells. Jeez. Maybe your daughter just read a few old books and got a stupid degree in nonsense. Maybe.
This quote is from the microplastics study that you referenced : "Based on the research reviewed here, salt sourced from Asia may have the most microplastic contamination followed by Pacific Sea Salt, Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Rock Salt."
This has been very interesting. What about Hawaiian red and black salts? Our family has been using them off and on for years. I would like to know how they compare to the salts you just reviewed, and if there is a reason that you haven’t included them
One of the best videos I’ve seen on salt comparison. Great explanation and detailed review. Your voice is so calming and really makes it easy to concentrate.
I loved that. I stumbled over Himalayan pink salt years ago and once I used it I could never go back to processed white. I will try out the other two you mentioned when I see them. Thank you
They are. And I buy from a company that mines their salt just like they did in 500 BC...also tested by independent labs with nothing to gain, as I also researched the lab! With a double major, a PhD and a Doctorate, I personally don't like to put my money into things that I need to "take with a grain of salt", but being an intelligent, female consumer, I like to make my purchases on research and facts...and just look at negative comments "with a grain of salt". JESUS loves you and so do I!🥰🥰
Thank you for your excellent presentation. I have used all three salts you mention and appreciate knowing the difference. I have recently been testing Colima salt, which has a lovely, robust flavor. Are you familiar with this salt from Mexico?
Of the various types of high-quality salt, I prefer sea salt SOLNI CVET - SALT FLOWER from "Piranske soline" (Piran, Slovenia). This salt is produced by hand following a tradition old more than 700 years. The basic process is natural crystallisation on salt-fields on a petola (a bio-sediment base, composed of minerals and micro-organisms). SALT FLOWER is the best of the best salt produced by "Piranske solin". "PIRAN SALT", also with protected designation of origin, is ungrounded, unrefined and of exceptional taste, althout is more "ordinary" compare to SALT FLOWER.
This is a great video. Ive been using the Pink Himalayan salt, but now want to try the others! I LOVE the color of your cabinets. Do you know the name of the color? I would like mine that same color! Thank you for all you do!
Great video, very informative! I would recommend that you use a better quality microphone as I I had a hard time listening to some words and pronunciation. Thank you for your hard work in making these videos and consistent health content. ❤
So many good sea salts..Baja Gold from the Sea of Cortez, Premier Labs Pink Salt from Hawaii, Celtic Sea Salt, Redmond Real Salt..they are all great..I find I want different ones throughout the year
Thanks for the update! I feel pretty good because I use these three salts in my kitchen. And on a side note, I love your hair without the band! Thanks again for all your informative videos. I have a jar of ginger-garlic-dill carrots fermenting on my countertop right now, about nine days in. Can’t wait to taste them!
@@CleanFoodLiving Hey, I want to try to ferment carrots and if I make a brine with 3% salt per liter water and add that to the carrots. Then add a weight and I'm good to go? Or do I need to weigh the carrots and volume of water together? I just want it to make it easy by making 1 liter of brine and add it to the carrots.

I hear everyone saying Redmond's is cheap but to get a bag delivered to Florida is outrageous. I can buy pink, black, or white Himalayan salt for $1/lb locally but I can't touch other Celtic or Redmond's anywhere near that for bulk usage. 50,lbs for instance. And the small bucket is absurdly expensive
I only use Redmond's. Because it's here in the US. I know Sea Salt now contains microplastics, and I don't quite trust Himalayan salt, due to the middlemen involved.
I gave Redmond's a good try. My batch at least, had tiny particles of sand in it. I couldn't get past eating a nice soft scrambled egg, and crunching down on grit. I have it all to my son and it doesn't bother him. I'd give a lot to be able to get past the tiny bit of sand, ut I just couldn't. You overlooked my favorite, Romanian salt. I lived there for years and bought it everywhere in the little shops, for about 50 cents per kilo. I have searched everywhere in the US for it, but to no avail. Oh how I wish I could get some! It is varying shades of gray, looks much like Celtic salt and has a rich, gentle flavor.
I’m so glad you brought that up! I have also noticed the grit of the sand, had someone tell me it was not sand but other minerals and that it would dissolve in water. Tried that! Put a cup of Redmonds in a Mason jar with RO water; it did NOT dissolve, left a small amount of sand in the bottom. I can’t get past the grit. I’d love to try your Romanian salt. My late father in law was a Romanian refugee from WW2.
Man I thought the meat I was eating had dirt in it. I was trying to figure out how this happened but after reading this it all makes sense. I just started using redmans? Is that normal for redmans??
I sprinkle Redmond in my bottle of water and drink through the day. Now I know what that is sitting at the bottom not dissolving. Hmmm I want to try Celtic
Great video Arienna I have now subscribed to your channel as your videos are informative and easy to follow. I just bought some Celtic salt recommended by Barbara O’Neil. I also use Redman salt recommended by Doug and Stacy and have used Himalayan salt for many years. I was never big on using salt, thankfully as we only used table iodised salt growing up. When I started using Maldon salt, kelp salt and Himalayan salt I realised how lacking table salt was and then learnt how bad it is. Looking forward to putting Celtic into my mix of salts. Love your channel ❤
Make sure to eat about same amount of potassium also. About 6 mo into high salt diet my heart starting to palpitate. After research here on ytube what I was missing is potassium. Now I either take supplement or eat more green leafy vegetable or fruit to balance out the potassium level. Life is good again. I'm eating watermelon (high potassium) with sea salt while typing it so good.
I normally don't comment but for everyone reading this go read the hidden herbs by anette ray

Take a bit of one of the above mentioned salts under the tongue as soon as possible on onset of headache and chase down with water. Let it dissolve under tongue for a bit. Blessings, migraines can last up to 72 hours, they ate not just headaches. Prayers for healing fellow sufferers. 🙏❤️
Thanks
Hmmm. I've noticed my headaches, which I've had since I was a small child, have significantly reduced since I started using Celtic Sea salt. Your comment just made me realize that could be the reason. Thank you😊
@ awesome! Not many ailments are worse than the pain, nausea, that migraines are notorious for. Glad u feel better!
My horse loves the Redmond Rock. It's a rock of salt that hangs on a fence post by a rope. It's great for getting horses to drink more water, important in avoiding colic.
Redmond salt convert here. Absolutely love the sharpness in the taste. To me, after using multiple types of salt over the years, I've come to use Redmond as my go-to salt for everything. Excellent product
I'm a huge fan myself! I started using it at the advice of a functional medicine doctor I follow, & it is well worth the extra money vs table salt. This video confirms my thoughts on it!
I used to get it for free since my brother in law worked there.
I've been buying Redmonds for 31 years. It used to be a lot cheaper. I really like the flavor and while I've tried others, it's still my go to :).
I like Redmond’s real salt
I like the taste of Redmonds. Too bad about the microplastics.
@@lizabennett7979 What micro-plastics?
@@lizabennett7979 and LEAD. I watched a video on the metals in our salts and there are others lower then Redmonds and Celtic. If you find anything different let me know please! I found Colima Salt to be one of the lowest so far for metals such as lead etc..
Different flavors from each but I support Redmonds. I lived in the area and knew many of the families and the owners of the mine. The bentonite clay is also great. They are honest, use third-party analysis reports, and are 100% American. They have really grown in the last 20 years. My only gripe with them is that they now cover their trucks so the salt rocks don't fall on the side of the farm roads when they make turns. No more free salt for us, LOL, but they are usually more affordable compared to the others.
😂funny story about the free salt hahaha
I wish I could visit Utah and the mine one day. We have been using RS for at least 15 years now.
Redmonds, all the way. Sad about losing that sweet free salt, though.
This video is everything I needed and nothing I didn't. Excellent work, well delivered, in a concise and easy to understand manner.
I add a pinch of salt to my drinking water. I use pink salt, and I've used my daughter's Redmonds salt. My pink salt dissolves completely but the Redmonds always leaves sands/particles that do not. For this reason, I like my pink salt better.
Girl, that's the good stuff!
The problem is that many of these Himalayan Salts are fake... they pigment the salt to make it look like original... take a good look and test different brands to see which perform better!
Is it sand or mineral traces?
what I do ( now I can't speak on other salts I never used. only used Redmond) get pint mason jar, I add 5 tablespoon of salt, add filter water. put a plastic lid let sit on counter over night, then every day I shake the jar add 1 tsp in my water generally twice a day. called Sole now I never had grit doing that way.
For me, the gray Celtic sea salt tastes the best. It’s absolutely delicious, although I like Redmond’s too.
I agree. I like Redmond’s but it doesn’t completely dissolve in hot water when I need to make a brine for fermenting veggies. Also, when I use it in casseroles, even the fine salt, there are always crunchy bites. I still use it, but I prefer the Celtic.
Magnesium tastes Great, if not oxide. Celtic has more magnesium, but what kind?
Alot of lead traces In Celtic
It’s all of the micro plastics in the sea salt that make it taste so good 😂😂😂😂😂

Love the taste of Redmond’s Real Salt, I actually tossed Himalayan salt I had been using, you can feel the difference.
I actually use a salt mixture of Redmonds and Celtic Sea Salt in my salt shaker. 😊
That's a great idea !
Does it help the Celtic to be less wet ?
Still shakes out, but not as easily. I often end up taking the lid off. Lol
Celtic is my favorite,… and interestingly it's least in sodium and chloride. I live in San Diego.
Celtic Sea Salt is my go-to!
I really appreciate the breakdown of information you gave, especially in regards to the minerals. This video was truly excellent!
I agree. It has helped me come to the conclusion that the difference in mineral values is minor enough that it really makes no difference from a health standpoint. That said, different people may find that their individual taste buds prefer one over the other, and mineral values may be a component there. The bigger and more likely question is, are those taste preferences a result of actual differences or perceived differences, or are other factors such as grain size and density bigger factors?
I stopped doing sea salt after learning about all the micro plastic and any other sea pollutants, at least they test for some heavy metals
What about your iodine? None in Celtic
baja gold salt is probably the best in the world
@@jtdscott magnesium is far more important. As I understand it from holistic channels. Celtic is far superior for hydration purposes.
Thank you for pronouncing the word Celtic properly.
I have a salt collection from all over the world but the only salt places I have been are the Atacama desert in Chile, Hawaii to the volcanic salt, and Frances shores for Celtic grey salt. I love them all
I like the taste of Redmonds
My holistic doctor told me to get Redmonds. Put a little under your tongue and then drink some water. He said it was the most pure.
@@Liz-in8lu Yes! They sell Himalayan pink salt everywhere...but how do you know if it is the real thing?
I’m going to buy all of them and mix them together and I’ll have the best salt in the world. Hell yeah!
Hahhahahahah you go!!!!🎉
An excellent idea
I was thinking that, too. But just thinking of doing the math made my brain say no. 😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Celtic salt is delicious, but I found it harder to manage in cooking. I use Redmond's and I find the flavor really wonderful as well.
6:44 After seeing this chart side-by-side comparison, I am glad that I am a *PINK SALT* girl! Plus I just like the flavor of pink salt better than Redmond's Real Salt. And I've only had Celtic Sea salt one time many years ago, so I would have to purchase that again and make a taste comparison at this time.
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this, both as a geologist, and someone with POTS. My doctor has recommended I have about 8-10g of salt a day, and I have realized that I really need an increased amount of potassium and magnesium as well. The fact that Redmond's doesn't have either of those 2 is incredibly helpful to know
Error on these values is noted in description. Redmonds does contain Ca, Mg and P. Please see given values in description.
I am pretty sure that salt shouldn't be your source for potassium and magnesium supplementation.
1/2 cup Redmond, 1/2 teaspoons magnesium glycinate, 1& 3/4 teaspoons KCL (potassium chloride). I got the info from Mary’s Nest you tube title: The Easy Way To Make Homemade Electrolyte Drinks And Sports Drinks
@@jennyrose2200 stuff is coming out that your body needs more salt than government tells you
@@Icewing10 government is one source I don't trust. What we don't need is an imbalance in our body. For one, my 1 kidney is at stage 3. I get blood tests 4 times a year to monitor. I'm 68 with low heart rate and fuss with my doctors about not wanting to be on prescription meds like they want everyone with a high normal bp. Used to be normal till they decided to lower those values.
I like your idea near the end of the video of 'mixing it up'. That way you get a larger variety of the trace minerals.
I love my Redmonds Makes such a difference in the flavor. I use no table salt now. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to research the details & share them with us. You are appreciated 💙🙏🏾
I've always used Himalayan Pink Salt in my Saltpipe. Used it successfully for 25 years.
I have always used sea salt sometimes Himalayan pink salt. I switched to Redmond salt for about a year. The slight constant discomfort in the kidney area is gone. I want to try Celtic salt.
Thank you for the information. And yes, fermented red cabbage turned out very tasty.👌

You rock! I have all three salts in my cupboard, Redmond's has only been there for a few months. I have the least "experience" with it, but, I've often wondered some of the things you covered today. Thanks!
In my country, Slovenia, we using natural sea salt from Adriatic sea. It is similar to Celtic salt but with iodin.🤗
Micro plastics in sea salt. Bad news.
@chrismyers9951 Bad news: micro plastics are unavoidable. You can minimize how much you consume, but you cannot escape it.
😂😂😂 o may. It is possible that micro plastic is in sea salt. So what. If you are pannicing about everything you eat or drink the best think you can do is to die. Stop thinking this way because sich thoughts can kill you. Don't forget that human body is such a sophisticate machine that is possible to hell itself if you don't disturb this proces with toxic thoughts. They are poissoning us for centurys but we are still here.
What is the name of that salt (company)?
@@nebojsa1976 Pirans salt. Piran is a small tawn near the sea on Slovenian coast. And our salt is the sea which couldn't reach the sky again. It is not rafinirt and with non added iodin. It is a pure natural salt, a pure product of mother Nature and collected on an old way. I don't know if it is exported because it is not a big industrial production.
Wish you all the best 🤗
I have ONLY used sea salt for many years now. And the information you give here is the reason why. I have used all three, but my personal favourite is Himalayan Pink salt.
I use all these salts for various reasons. My favorite recipe for electrolyte water is water, Celtic salt and lemon juice. It's fantastic.
How much Celtic salt to add to water ?
@@susanlarouche1758 A shake or two will do , maybe 1/4 tsp or to taste. Redmond or Celtic is good. If you don’t get iodine from your diet add a couple drops occasionally. No artificial sweetener in this.
@@susanlarouche1758 see my repost.
I use seltzer water, Celtic salt, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. I don't measure just add according to what I like, which is about a teaspoon of Celtic salt, a tablespoon or two of apple cider vinegar and of lemon juice. Then I mix it in a 32 ounce glass jar with some ice. It is very hydrating and energizing.
@@blujack100 ...do you use lemon juice from the plastic lemon (or bottle) or only from a natural lemon?
We use Redmonds and we love its flavor best. Just the issue of transportation and the number of companies processing other salts would win the argument for me. Redmonds also has the BOMB smoked salts. They were a game changer for my family not only on meats, but almost everything. They are pricey but just as pure.
I didn't know about the smoked salt. I'm definitely going to try it ASAP. Thanks for mentioning it!
Me too!! Thank you!
Where do you find redmonds salt? We use himalaya salt. Geena
I love their chili lime salt on melons
@@christaj1754 😳I need that! Is it like Tarjin?
I ordered a large bag of Redmonds and it has small grains of something in it that I was constantly biting down on. I was afraid it would break my teeth. It feels like sand. I contacted them and was told that it is silica and that it does not dissolve in water. I already have about 6 crowns and am not looking to break another tooth. I absolutely love Celtic Sea Salt. It does not have un-dissolvable ingredients in it.
Except for micro plastics, lol
Redmonds also makes Ancient Fine Sea Salt. I switched to that after experiencing the same issue with Redmonds Ancient Kosher Sea Salt. You might want to give it a try.

Nicely done video on a topic that is more important than most people realize. I have done "salt tastings" for nearly 20 years as part of my holistic health & nutrition business. I always include basic table salt as the last one of 5-6 salts being tasted, and my clients are usually shocked at the differences and appalled at the harsh metallic flavor of the table salt most of them commonly used up to then!

Hi what about kosher salt?
Hi Mh. What is your top pick for salt for health?
I'm very impressed at your analyses of these salts. 🇬🇾
However, I would never believe that filtration claim by those companies of filtering plastics...!
Many years ago when Redmond was starting to be carried in local stores here in Utah, I tried it on some Copper River Salmon I was grilling. I was amazed to taste the ocean so clearly! It's all I ever use. Buy local!
What a wonderful overview of these nutritious salts! This is the most detailed info I've yet encountered on beneficial salts, and it was so informative and deeply appreciated. 🙏🌟

How much can one take a day?? Of this salt
I have used all of them and keep coming back to celtic because of it's robust and not overpowering flavor.
I’m very happy to have found your channel! Not only do you do a very thorough job but your voice is very soothing
I use all of them plus the best from Poland: Kłodawska salt and Arctic salt from freezing Arctic waters. Thanks for the info, very informative👍
I'm a Pink salt girl myself! I've been using only that for years. I have purchased Redmond's Real Salt a couple of times but I much prefer the flavor and a higher mineral content of Pink salt. And no microplastics.

What brand do you buy?
@@cactusJenSherpa Pink Himalayan Salt; San Francisco Salt Co.
Claims of no added iodine but it naturally contains more Iodine than Redmond's.
No added ingredients. Great flavor.
Perfect timing on the release of another great video. I too quit using iodized salt decades ago and have all three of your test salts in my kitchen. Thanks for all the great info. Your videos are great reference material and I bookmark each one.

We all wish that..
Agree! I subscribed too.
@@thinkingoutloud6741 I concur..so did I!
We switched to Redmonds a couple years ago & never looked back. We also, tho, have Celtic salt on hand. Like you, we avoid table salt like the plague. I even carry a tiny bottle of Redmonds w/me so that when we eat out, if we need salt, we don't have to use the shaker of table salt.
Just know that 99% of restaurants use white table salt in their food, and many use msg as well
We can’t change every. I carry my own salt too. Change where possible and move on.

Excellent data and information here! Really loved the breakdown. There was a study that came out maybe a year ago, where a third party tested all of these salts and many more too, and found a lot of lead in salt across the board! One of the rare few with no lead was celtic sea salt, so I have been sticking to that one since then.
Ooo... That's great information too! Thanks for that as well! 👏🏽
I would be glad to know if a heart patient could use the celtic or himalayas salt. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Right
We recently went on vacation in Indonesia, the salt they use there is local natural rock sea salt. Tastes pure, delicious, and very cheap, costs only $1 per 2lb.
Yes, when I spent many months living in Bali, I used Balinese unrefined salt, which I enjoyed and felt good with, though I usually only use Himalayan salt. (I find table salt unbearable, it makes me swell and has no flavor no matter how much I use.)
Thank you for your complete examination of the salts. Me personally Himalayan for me. After watching documentaries on Ghana and their electronics recycling and the pollution that’s produced,(yes I know from our electronics here too in the USA) I tend to like mined salt
Thank you for charting this. I have always used Redmond for my cooking and a pinch of Celtic salt in my water for electrolytes/hydration❤🥰❤️
I've been making a sea salt 🧂 blend of all 3 of these salts, and have recently added Baja Gold Sea salt.
Great idea. Would you share the ratio that you have found works nicely?
Baja Gold sea salt is great

I tasted all of those and my preference remains the tasty grey salt. Thank you for your video.
Wow - very informative and well presented. Thank you! I use Redmond salt, but I think I’ll try some Celtic salt now after watching your video.
Hi from AU. Great info again, thankyou. We have the Himalayan Salt and the French Sea Salt in our home kitchen. We purchased the sea salt whilst on holiday in France. The salt formed on the surface of the water is called Fleur de Ser, salt or Flower of the Sea, in English. It is more delicate and more expensive hence it is used on food after serving as it's characteristics are lost in cooking.
Fleur de sel
Thank you for the video, it is very informational, love it.
I used Himalayan salt for years and never had any problems. Recently i started keto diet and i started having dry mouth, couldn`t figure it out why. I watched video on UA-cam from dr. Barbara O'Neill or whatever her name is. She was talking about Celtic salt and how/when to use it so i tried. I got rid of the problems with my dry mouth problem and also have no muscle cramps. Used Himalayan same way and same amount before so for me Celtic is better choice. My conclusion is that we are all different and everyone react differently to each salt. You have to try and see which is better for you.
Thank you for sharing this informative news on salts!💖
I didn't think too much of the salt's 'flavors' until I watched "Dating in the Kitchen" starring Zhao Lusi and Lin Shen. (Great drama, by the way)💗 He was, as a chef, teaching her about the difference in the taste of each salt and how the differences change the taste of the food. I immediately took all of my different salts out and started to taste them. I find it truly remarkable how each salt can change the flavor of a dish. I now use 'the salt' that flavors my food to the taste that I like. There doesn't seem to be any extreme differences in mineral content. The Grey salt has a sharp taste and the Himalayan a mellower flavor. To each his own.👍💕 Will have to look around; don't remember ever seeing Redmond's in Canada! Maybe in the larger City centers??
I use Himalayan pink salt. I have the Celtic sea salt but haven't tried it yet. Azure had a sale so I bought three one pound packages and I hope we like it. I tried Redmond's in the past but it has a high silica content and the little crunches annoyed me. I kept thinking one of my dental fillings just died. I tried to ignore the crunches but gave up. I support American businesses but I just can't handle the silica in my salt. If you can't guess I have a dental phobia. So back to Himalayan pink salt I went. I don't even keep white table salt in the house. Even for canning I use pink salt. Great video.
Had the best dental checkup I’ve ever had after I started using Redmond’s toothpaste. Hygienist could not believe the difference.
Not gritty at all.
The grittiness in the salt are the minerals. I notice them a lot more in the kosher salt. Did you try the fine?
thank you. Colombia has the 10th largest salt mine on earth Zipaquira, and also has sea salt in the Guajira (using plastic)..also the table salt is legislated for consumers that it must have added fluoride and iodine since 1990s! for anticaking ferro cyanide is added. we left the country.
You are very good. I got a lot out of your presentation. Great speaker.
WOW... I really enjoyed that! I have been using all three but lately have leaned on Redmonds... quite a different taste. I love this info and just subscribed and will start some fermenting! Very cool
Barbara O'Neill said to place a piece of celtic sea salt on your tongue before drinking water, and it helps absorb the minerals one needs into your body. Her videos are very old, so maybe CSS is different now.
Lmao! Very old? OK now I feel ancient. 😂😊
I think she has made some new ones on the "Clash of Minds" channel.
She has a 9mo video out and talks about using the Celtic salt and then drinking water, watched it an hour or so ago.
I read just recently in the comments that high levels of lead is found in Celtic salt. Wandering if that's true.
Pink salt gives me a rash. It took me a long time to figure it out. I finally found out that the pink color is caused by decomposed crustacean shells. I didn't know I was allergic to crustaceans until I found out about the pink salt giving me an itchy rash, mostly on my stomach.
How did you manage to figure that out ? It is said the pink maybe the red is from natural Iron in the salt. That would mean the pink from crustaceans makes Himalayan salt not kosher? Not sure.
@@reccocon3442 ~ I found it out from my daughter who is a certified dietician and healthcare professional. She told me that there are millions of people who are allergic to crustaceans, and she recommended that I forgo using the pink salt for awhile to see if the rash would go away, so I took her advice and within a week or two the rash went away. I had been suffering with it for months.
@@jimyost2585 That is not proof, that is circumstantial evidence. Rashes come and go and your personal experience is useless. Stop eating dead muscle tissue maybe... and NO the red does NOT come from shells. Jeez. Maybe your daughter just read a few old books and got a stupid degree in nonsense. Maybe.
Thank you.
If dissolved and then pink water it could be dye and that can cause rash but I would assume you did this but for others to read.
This quote is from the microplastics study that you referenced : "Based on the research reviewed here, salt sourced from Asia may have the most microplastic contamination followed by Pacific Sea Salt, Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Rock Salt."
How does Himalayan rock salt have plastics in it?? It’s dug out of a rock!
Celtic salt DOESNT HAVE PLASTIC
Thank You! This was extraordinarily helpful! Shalom 🙏
This has been very interesting. What about Hawaiian red and black salts?
Our family has been using them off and on for years.
I would like to know how they compare to the salts you just reviewed,
and if there is a reason that you haven’t included them
I just bought Hawian salt. It seems more salty than the Himalayan salt.
Have you ever tried alae salt? It is red in color from Hawaii.
One of the best videos I’ve seen on salt comparison. Great explanation and detailed review. Your voice is so calming and really makes it easy to concentrate.
I loved that. I stumbled over Himalayan pink salt years ago and once I used it I could never go back to processed white. I will try out the other two you mentioned when I see them.
Thank you
That's me until I found Remonds.
Same. Now I want to try the other 2 as well
Peruvian Maras Pink Salt is another interesting option to be analyzed.
All these levels of minerals tested should be taken with a grain of salt. 😉
Lol😂😂😂
YOU'RE FUNNY
Ba dum tss
well yea as its nateral and will have varriences from product to product.
They are. And I buy from a company that mines their salt just like they did in 500 BC...also tested by independent labs with nothing to gain, as I also researched the lab! With a double major, a PhD and a Doctorate, I personally don't like to put my money into things that I need to "take with a grain of salt", but being an intelligent, female consumer, I like to make my purchases on research and facts...and just look at negative comments "with a grain of salt". JESUS loves you and so do I!🥰🥰
Thank you for your excellent presentation. I have used all three salts you mention and appreciate knowing the difference. I have recently been testing Colima salt, which has a lovely, robust flavor. Are you familiar with this salt from Mexico?
Baja Gold from Baja is great!
Of the various types of high-quality salt, I prefer sea salt SOLNI CVET - SALT FLOWER from "Piranske soline" (Piran, Slovenia). This salt is produced by hand following a tradition old more than 700 years. The basic process is natural crystallisation on salt-fields on a petola (a bio-sediment base, composed of minerals and micro-organisms). SALT FLOWER is the best of the best salt produced by "Piranske solin".
"PIRAN SALT", also with protected designation of origin, is ungrounded, unrefined and of exceptional taste, althout is more "ordinary" compare to SALT FLOWER.
This is a great video. Ive been using the Pink Himalayan salt, but now want to try the others!
I LOVE the color of your cabinets. Do you know the name of the color? I would like mine that same color!
Thank you for all you do!

I switched to Redmond's about a year ago. The price is good and compared to the others it is "locally produced".
I hear everyone saying Redmond's is cheap but to get a bag delivered to Florida is outrageous. I can buy pink, black, or white Himalayan salt for $1/lb locally but I can't touch other Celtic or Redmond's anywhere near that for bulk usage. 50,lbs for instance. And the small bucket is absurdly expensive
Coupons always available online and they always work. Also the rewards program is good. It’s easy enough to get to $30 snd then the shipping is free.
I only use Redmond's. Because it's here in the US. I know Sea Salt now contains microplastics, and I don't quite trust Himalayan salt, due to the middlemen involved.
Excellent informative video. I've used Himalayan Pink Salt and Celtic Salt and I like both. I may need to hunt down some Redmond's to try it.
Excellent comparison and facts about each. Seems you can’t go wrong with any of the three.
I gave Redmond's a good try. My batch at least, had tiny particles of sand in it. I couldn't get past eating a nice soft scrambled egg, and crunching down on grit. I have it all to my son and it doesn't bother him. I'd give a lot to be able to get past the tiny bit of sand, ut I just couldn't. You overlooked my favorite, Romanian salt. I lived there for years and bought it everywhere in the little shops, for about 50 cents per kilo. I have searched everywhere in the US for it, but to no avail. Oh how I wish I could get some! It is varying shades of gray, looks much like Celtic salt and has a rich, gentle flavor.
I’m so glad you brought that up! I have also noticed the grit of the sand, had someone tell me it was not sand but other minerals and that it would dissolve in water. Tried that! Put a cup of Redmonds in a Mason jar with RO water; it did NOT dissolve, left a small amount of sand in the bottom. I can’t get past the grit. I’d love to try your Romanian salt. My late father in law was a Romanian refugee from WW2.
Man I thought the meat I was eating had dirt in it. I was trying to figure out how this happened but after reading this it all makes sense. I just started using redmans? Is that normal for redmans??
Good to know! I can't imagine that I'd enjoy eating the Redmond's for that fact alone.
I sprinkle Redmond in my bottle of water and drink through the day. Now I know what that is sitting at the bottom not dissolving. Hmmm I want to try Celtic
We can't get past the sand either.
Great video Arienna I have now subscribed to your channel as your videos are informative and easy to follow. I just bought some Celtic salt recommended by Barbara O’Neil. I also use Redman salt recommended by Doug and Stacy and have used Himalayan salt for many years. I was never big on using salt, thankfully as we only used table iodised salt growing up. When I started using Maldon salt, kelp salt and Himalayan salt I realised how lacking table salt was and then learnt how bad it is. Looking forward to putting Celtic into my mix of salts. Love your channel ❤
Which salt though is actually best for our bods?? 😮😊❤
Make sure to eat about same amount of potassium also. About 6 mo into high salt diet my heart starting to palpitate. After research here on ytube what I was missing is potassium. Now I either take supplement or eat more green leafy vegetable or fruit to balance out the potassium level. Life is good again. I'm eating watermelon (high potassium) with sea salt while typing it so good.
Just subscribed. I normally give at least 3 likes before I subscribe but you are so informative and non biased and have a calming voice.
