The truth about fancy salts, thanks for the question, Marilyn.

Who wants to pay $60 a pound for salt if it's not better?

Let's talk about all the boutique salts that say theirs is the best, the least refined.

Have you ever walked into a grocery store and seen all sorts of salts that aren't just plain

white table salt. There's

pink salt, gray salt, black salt, and they all claim to be better for you because they're less

processed. But what does that really mean? Let's find out. What is less processed salt? When companies

say a salt is less processed, they usually mean it hasn't

been stripped of all its natural minerals. Regular table salt is heavily processed, it's cleaned,

and all the other minerals are removed, leaving almost pure sodium chloride.

Then, anti-caking agents are added to stop it from clumping, and sometimes iodine is added,

which is a synthetic version I'm not sure everyone is deficient in, and I'd rather use a different

source than iodized salt.

Less processed salts, like sea salt or pink Himalayan salt, are usually just dried or ground up.

They keep some of their natural minerals,

which gives them different colors and sometimes different flavors. Pink salt and minerals. Many people

think that if salt is pink, it must have a lot of healthy minerals in it. It's true that pink salts,

like Himalayan salt, get their color from tiny amounts of minerals, especially iron.
