This little mineral has a major role to play in food, amping up flavor, enhancing texture, and even extending shelf life.

Rather, it\u2019s harvested on the northern coast of France. Dietitian and chef Julie Andrews, M.S., R.D., F.A.N.D., of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/thehealthyepicurean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Healthy Epicurean,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says Celtic salt can be used in general cooking, but is often better as a finishing salt (i.e. sprinkled atop foods as a finishing touch) because of its large crystals.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/which-electrolyte-supplement-is-right-for-you\/\">Which Electrolyte Supplement Is Right for You?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celtic salt has recently taken off as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/channel\/celtic-salt?lang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social media trend<\/a>, with folks claiming that it\u2019s loaded with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/minerals\/magnesium\">magnesium<\/a> and other minerals, working miracles like curing insomnia and reducing blood pressure. Thousands of videos also feature Celtic sea salt in homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/hydration-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sports drinks<\/a>. (The idea goes that its extra minerals allow water to better permeate the cells.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But experts say to take the claims with, well, a grain of salt. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the hype, using these specialty salts to make your own hydration drink really won\u2019t make that much of a difference,\u201d says<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lauramali.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laura Ali, M.S., R.D.N.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a culinary nutritionist based in Pittsburgh. \u201cIn addition to sodium, these salts <em>do<\/em> contain a small amount of minerals and electrolytes. However, the amount is negligible, and that little bit won\u2019t help with hydration.\u201d So just don&#8217;t expect any miracles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Himalayan Pink Salt<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much like Celtic salt, Himalayan pink salt has been having a (pretty long) moment. Its rock candy look and pretty pink color definitely add to its appeal. Andrews says Himalayan pink salt can be used in any cooking application in which you\u2019d use table salt, but it may not impart the flavor your taste buds expect. \u201cBecause it has a different mineral composition than other salts, it also has a slightly different flavor,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It just comes down to if you want to spend the extra money for it and enjoy the flavor of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for health benefits, Himalayan pink salt is said to be loaded with minerals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/pink-himalayan-salt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">84 of them<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, to be exact), which has contributed to its cult following. Still, in the amounts used in regular cooking and eating, it isn\u2019t likely to make a major difference for your health, according to Ali. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proponents suggest some of these unrefined specialty salts are better for you because they have more minerals, but, in reality, the amount those \u2018extra\u2019 nutrients contribute to your overall diet is negligible,&#8221; she says.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Sea Salt<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both Celtic and Himalayan salts are considered sea salts, but they\u2019re not the only ones. There\u2019s also fleur de sel, red Hawaiian salt, flake salt, and smoked salt, to name a few. The common thread: Sea salts are gathered from evaporated seawater and are recognized for their more potent flavors and higher quantities of minerals. Sea salt is less processed than table salt, so it\u2019s a smart option if you\u2019d like to keep your diet as unprocessed as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/trace-minerals\/\">What to Know About Trace Minerals (Like Why You Probably Need More of Them)<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ali says that salts from the sea may also contain less sodium than regular table salt\u2014a definite bonus for health. \u201cSwapping one of these salts in a recipe in place of regular table salt may help lower the amount of sodium you consume. Just keep in mind that the lower sodium content is due to the size of the salt particle, not because it contains less sodium by weight.\u201d In other words, sea salt <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">may provide less sodium by volume because fewer crystals fit in a measuring spoon.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you feel sea salt doesn\u2019t make your food flavorful enough, you might negate your low-sodium efforts by adding more and more, so keep tabs on how much you use.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Table Salt<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Table salt is the Old Reliable of everyday meal prep. (You\u2019ve probably got some in your pantry right now!) In baking, saut\u00e9ing, roasting, and more, this salt does the trick of enhancing foods\u2019 flavor. Another plus: It\u2019s cheap, with many canisters costing under a dollar. That said, some folks take issue with its taste. \u201cIt has a bit of a bitter aftertaste, so many cooks don\u2019t prefer to use it in their cooking,\u201d says Andrews.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-you-need-more-salt\/\">Signs You Might Actually Need More Salt in Your Diet<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple chemical combo of sodium and chloride creates this staple, but most table salt also has the advantage of added iodine (which is responsible for the somewhat bitter flavor). This mineral has fortified salt since the 1920s, when it was lacking in the American diet. (Even today, many pregnant women<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ods.od.nih.gov\/factsheets\/Iodine-HealthProfessional\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">continue to be iodine deficient<\/span><\/a>)<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Beyond this, though, you won\u2019t find any special health perks from a sprinkle of table salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Kosher Salt<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a super-versatile salt that works well in everything from meats to cakes, go kosher. According to Andrews, kosher salt can be used in all cooking and baking applications. (She does note, though, that its large crystals take up more space than those of regular table salt, which may affect how much you use.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike sea salts or table salt, kosher salt is typically pure NaCl (a.k.a. sodium chloride), with no added iodine or lingering minerals. This gives it a clean, pure flavor with no aftertaste, Andrews says. In short, it\u2019s great for flavor but nothing special for health.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Salt Impacts Your Health<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As delicious as various salts may be, they\u2019re still an ingredient to use in moderation. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietaryguidelines.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2021-03\/Dietary_Guidelines_for_Americans-2020-2025.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> recommend healthy people limit daily sodium intake to 2,300 milligrams per day. (For reference, that\u2019s about one teaspoon.) Going overboard with the shaker can lead to health problems, no matter which type of salt you choose. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cToo much sodium may increase your risk for developing high blood pressure, which can lead to heart disease and strokes,\u201d says Ali. \u201cA high-sodium diet may also contribute to calcium loss from bones and may contribute to an increased risk of developing kidney stones and kidney disease.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatright.org\/food\/nutrition\/nutrition-facts-and-food-labels\/is-sodium-the-same-thing-as-salt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">body does actually <em>need<\/em> sodium<\/a> to function properly, as the mineral helps maintain muscle health and keep fluids balanced. And since most sodium in the average American diet comes from highly processed foods and we lose it through sweat, certain groups of people\u2014including athletes, healthy keto eaters, and those with certain medical conditions\u2014may actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-you-need-more-salt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">need\u00a0<em>more<\/em> salt for optimal health and wellbeing.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the differences in health benefits are marginal between various salts, finding the right variety mostly comes down to flavor and culinary applications (or, in the case of Himalayan salt, a fun color). Whether you\u2019re an avid chef or kitchen newbie, try experimenting to see which one spices up your home cooking the most. And if you&#8217;re shopping for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/protein-fitness\/performance-supplements\/hydration-endurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hydration supplement<\/a>, don&#8217;t sweat about where it gets its salt from; all varieties get the job done.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can anyone blame us for loving salt?
