Redmond Real Salt: Product Review Redmond Real Salt is an American brand of unrefined salt. It is mined from a salt deposit near Redmond, Utah. It's labeled as 98.32% sodium chloride. Its published analysis shows 52 macrominerals and trace minerals (including sodium and chloride) and that it is free of lead, mercury, and other contaminants. Although labeled "not a dietary source of iodine," its label also reports a 10% daily value of iodine from 1/4 teaspoon. Gourmet TasteI love the fantastic taste of this salt. There is no comparison to the taste of refined salt (the table salt sold in the supermarket).I particularly value it on popcorn, rice, and vegetables. It is of course very soluble, and shakes and distributes onto food just like refined salt does. Finely Ground, one product of this brand, is available in shakers and bags. It is coarser than refined salt, in round multicolored particles. Difference From Other "Sea Salt"Even in health food stores, most "sea salt" is really refined salt. If the label doesn't say that a salt is unrefined, you can assume it is refined.Refined salt is purified in an industrial process that destroys the healthful minerals; then other chemicals are added. Refined salt is inherently unhealthful. Unrefined salt such as Redmond Salt does not cause the health problems, such as dehydration, that refined salt does. Compare To Celtic Sea SaltThis is an American salt that is less expensive and more finely ground than Celtic Sea Salt. Many nutritional medicine experts find it an acceptable substitute for Celtic Sea Salt.More InformationRedmond Real SaltMore on Unrefined Salt Return to Too Much Salt Or Not Enough Real Food?
