[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 116441, member: 12578"] I've just been reading the lable on my salt 'Sel de L'Atlantique' not quite Fleur de Sel de Guerande which supposed to be the best , or 'Sel de Guerande' or even Celtic Sea salt (as far as I can see a US labelling) but nevertheless from the same area, just a much cheaper supermarket version! The label waxes lyrical 'fruit of the ocean, the wind and the sun, 'le Saunier' sea salt is gathered on the Atlantic coast salt marshes. Rich in magnesium, the subtle ocean taste........' So whats it actually got in it? Funnily enough doesn't list sodium chloride! calcium 160mg/100gm...20% of AJR (RDA) Magnesium 170mg/100gm....56% of AJR (RDA) I looked up Celtic sea salt Light Grey Celtic Sea Salt® contains 33% Sodium, 50.9% Chloride, [u]1.8% Minerals and Trace Elements[/u] BUT presumably no-one will eat anything like 100gm of salt, the amounts of the minerals actually eaten will be negligible and easily obtained in other foods.
