SEA SALT AND PEPPER

SEA SALT IS A BROAD TERM THAT GENERALLY REFERS TO UNREFINED SALT THAT IS STRAIGHT FROM THE OCEAN OR SEA. IN GERNERAL, IT IS HARVESTED BY CHANNELING THE WATER INTO LARGE CLAY TRAYS, ALLOWING THE SUN AND WIND TO DO THEIR THING. SEA SALT CAN COME FROM THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA, THE NORTH SEA AND THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. SALTS FROM DIFFERENT AREAS HAVE DIFFERENT CHARACTERISTICS AND THEREFORE, DIFFERENT APPLICATIONS. SEA SALT CONTAINS 80% OF THE MINERALS THAT YOUR BODY NEEDS...IT HELPS PRESERVE YOUR BLOOD CELLS.

TABLE SALT, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS USUALLY FROM SALT MINES AND REFINED UNTIL MOST MINERALS ARE REMOVED AND IT BECOMES PURE SODIUM CHLORIDE. YOU CAN GET IODIZED TABLE SALT AS WELL, BUT WHY?.....MOST PEOPLE REQUIRE LESS THAN 225 MICROGRAMS OF IODINE A DAY....SEAFOOD AND SEA SALT CONTAIN IODINE NATURALLY SO THERE IS NO NEED FOR SUPPLEMENTS IF YOU HAVE A HEALTHY DIET.
