Natural Celtic Sea Salt – Fine/Coarse, Dry – Traditionally Harvested
£12.95 – £17.95
Natural Celtic Sea Salt – available fine or coarse, dried and hand-harvested from the mineral-rich clay fields of Brittany, France. This unrefined salt retains essential minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, offering a natural depth of flavour and added nutritional value for everyday cooking. Free from additives and anti-caking agents.
Natural Celtic Sea Salt, known as “Sel de Guérande,” comes from the Brittany region in France. Here, skilled salt farmers use time-tested, traditional methods, hand-harvesting the salt from grey-blue clay marshes along the Atlantic coast. This salt owes its light grey colour and mineral richness to the unique clay beds where it’s collected. These clay fields naturally infuse the salt with an array of trace minerals, creating a salt that’s as rich in flavour as it is in essential nutrients.
Rich Mineral Content and Health Benefits
Compared to standard table salt, which is often heavily refined and stripped of its natural minerals, Celtic Sea Salt retains around 80 essential trace minerals, including magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These minerals not only contribute to the salt’s unique flavour and texture but also provide various health benefits:
- Magnesium supports muscle function and helps manage stress.
- Potassium plays a role in heart health and helps maintain fluid balance.
- Calcium is essential for bone health and muscle function.
Celtic Sea Salt’s mineral content also makes it slightly lower in sodium than regular table salt, allowing for a milder impact on blood pressure. Because the salt is hand-harvested and unrefined, it contains no additives, anti-caking agents, or bleaching chemicals, offering a natural and pure option for seasoning.
Versatile Use in Cooking
With its distinct, bold flavour, Celtic Sea Salt can enhance a wide range of dishes, from soups and stews to roasted vegetables and meats. Its moisture-rich texture makes it perfect for direct application, but it’s best used without a salt grinder due to its hygroscopic nature.
Supplied in convenient bags in either 500g or 1kg weights, this Celtic Sea Salt is an ideal choice for those who want a natural, mineral-rich salt to bring out the best in their cooking. It’s a simple, pure alternative to ordinary salt, providing both flavour and added benefits for a balanced diet.
