Why Guerande Celtic Sea Salt is better The Difference Between Unrefined Celtic Salts and Rock Salts (Himalayan salt etc.)

Many people think Himalayan salt is better because it comes from a time long ago. This may be true, but there is much more to this picture. In France Himalayan salt is called Fossil salt. This is because it has become rock through millions of years of geologic activity. As rock, the minerals in the salt have become fossilised. These minerals cannot be called organic minerals. The minerals in an unrefined sea salt are organic, and as such are bio-available and used well by the body. The organic minerals in sea salts are created in the most part by the decomposition of life forms in the seas. Only a small portion is from rocks broken down by the action of water. For minerals to be bio-available they need to have been passed through a life form - either plant or animal. This is the food chain, from rock to plant to animal.

Regarding the potential for micro plastic in Guerande salt: Micro plastic floats on the surface of the water. This salt is created at the bottom of a series of clay-lined lagoons. The seawater is naturally filtered seventeen times before it reaches the last of the collections ponds. These age-old systems of filtration are very sophisticated; sometimes it is the water of the surface which is filtered, sometimes the water of the middle and sometimes the bottom water in turn, up to seventeen times. No analysis has ever found any micro plastic in the Sel de Guerande.

There is so much debate about which source of salt is the best. Do your research and make your own choice.
