True sea salt benefits

Sea salt is harvested from the ocean. It is an unrefined salt and as such is much healthier to add to food than typical Iodized table salt. Sea salt has a high mineral content that has not been destroyed by heat. Because Iodized table salt is normally heated to very high temperatures during the manufacturing process, many vital and important minerals and enzymes are lost.

When using sea salt in raw food dishes it is actually more flavorful than when using processed table salt. If better taste were not enough, sea salt is also more easily assimilated and used by the body, because it has not been subjected to high heat.

Look for a variety of unique speciality sea salts in your local health food store. For example, Himalayan salt which originates in, none other than, the Himalayas is regarded as one of the purest salts available. These salts are advertised as being free of pollutants and toxic substances. Celtic salt is another variety of sea salt that is derived from sea water originating off the coast of Brittany, France. This speciality sea salt is minimally processed by hand using old world methods.

If you are already enjoying the health benefits that a raw food diet has to offer, sea salt will complement your diet perfectly. Incorporating sea salt into your diet is one of the simplest and most inexpensive ways of improving on a raw food lifestyle.
