Salt - Different Kinds of Salt

[RecipeCook]

I just got back from the Tea & Spice Exchange store here in Cincinnati and they have a nice selection of salts. Also check out Colonel De Stewart's website - he's the spice man here in Cincinnati and is known for his large repertoire and inventory on salts.

@RecipeCook

why wouldn't you even mention himalayan living crystal salt. It has 84 natural minerals in it and has healing qualities as well as being untainted because it is 250 million years old?

[RecipeCook]

[simranjeet1001]

[doveisle]

Thank you for the video!

Black salt is named so because the naturally occurring mineral is black before it is ground. It takes a lighter color after grinding,

There are prettier salts that one might prefer for presentation, fish served upon a bed of course Himalayan salt for instance, but as far as taste and texture "Flower of the Sea" is tops.

[XavierNinnis]

I've sampled as many varieties as I could get my mitts on (of "salt-salt" that is, not smoked or otherwise flavored) and strictly as far as what happens once you put it in your mouth, Fleur de Sel is the champ, (though I've not yet been able to sample Læsø Salt which, if price is any indication, might be comparable to Fleur de Sel.

salt is salt

salt from mines is salt left after evaporation of ancient sea water.

Ancient sea water had minerals just like today's sea water. So, morton salt also has minerals in it. Our oceans and seas are polluted. salt that comes from mines has less contaminants than the high price salt they are advertising as healthy. Paying extra for fancy salt is simply a waste of money!!!!!!!

[jupiterscastle]

sea salt is okay, but i like ancient sea salt aka regular salt, kosher salt is good too

[Qiiiiiii]

Rita Thanks

There is also Japanese Salt

AMABITO NO MOSHIO

[TheFlyOnTheWallBlog]

Great video! I have always loved Sea salt and just found my love of Kosher salt, just melts in your mouth. I now prefer these 2 salts over regular iodized salt and would like to try the rest.

[RecipeCook]

Glad you liked it. We use Kosher or Sea Salt in cooking school. ~Rita

[Semicton]

I changed to kosher salt for everything about 4 years ago. Now when I use regular table salt, I can clearly taste a weird mineral taste that I don't like.

[OlivaresMila]

Good Day Rita and Thanks for your video!

I just wonder:

what is the name of that expensive salt in your video?

PS. there is a salt also call Læsø they say is the most expensive in the world!

[RecipeCook]

It's the Fleur de Sel (Flower of the Sea). I will check out the Laeso salt too! ~Rita

[OlivaresMila]

Thank you so much Rita ! Now i know !

I also recommend to all people, that if you have money buy organic salt, if you have money, it is allways better to but organic food! I would like to have organic sea salt in a wood or bamboo box, aaa now i remmember also that there is a salt know: Bamboo Salt hihihihihi Regards

[Essexpianos]

Oh, Wow I did not know that you could eat that kelp salt! Why can't I buy the expensive one? Hmmm... Anyway,.. have a great Day Mrs. Rita.

[TvAdiCTeDd]

[BarbecueTricks]

love the site... and I'll have an easy time remembering the name! I've subcribed too!

[almujtabah]

whats kosher salt ?

[nimibiantribesman]

after i switched to sea salt, i never went back to iodized table salt.

[allymetoo]

When you buy salt for food cons/proc, you want to make sure:

1) Your salt is either unprocessed mine or sea salt.

( I prefer the latter )

2) Your salt does not contain any additives

( Especially sodium-fluoride, potassium-fluoride or iodine supplements)

[allymetoo]

Most of the commercial salts are useless for nutrition.

(Even if it is called Seasalt)

Why ?

Because, regardless how it is labeled, it undergoes an industrial processing, which mainly destroys the valuable balance of it's contained minerals. What's left in most commercial salts is 99% of chlorium sodide, with traces of other minearals mostly magnesium.

[Prita51]

thank you..This was one good peice of information...

[RecipeCook]

You're welcome. If you haven't tried some of these, I think you'd enjoy them. There are lots of different flavors in the different kinds of salts. ~R

[goodchardonnay]
