Fleur De Sel

Taking too much salt in your food is bad for you,it poisons your body and causes many health problems.But your body needs a certain amount of salt daily to function properly, so what is the answer? Natural unrefined sea salt will not only give you the amount of salt your body needs without causing any harm,it is also beneficial and will generally enhance your well-being.



There are many types of sea salt available from the black lava salt containing charcoal to the exotic red clay salt from Hawaii but a good choice is the pure French sea salt.



Its French name is Fleur de Sel which literally means Flower of Salt and it is one of the rarest sea salts so it tends to be expensive. It is harvested by hand off the coast of Brittany where the workers scrape off the top layer of the salt before it sinks to the bottom.



French sea salt is made up of uneven crystals with the larger ones tasting saltier than the smaller ones as they take longer to dissolve. The crystals vary from grey to sparkling white and look lovely in a bowl on a candlelit dinner table as the crystals shimmer in the light.



French Sea Salt is so good for you because it contains sodium chloride, calcium,magnesium,potassium, iron and iodine and each one of these minerals are beneficial to various parts of your body. Celtic salt is harvested from the same area in Brittany but tends to be grey in color rather than white but French sea salt is often referred to as celtic salt as they are harvested in the same way from the same area.

The magnesium and potassium in this salt are necessary to help metabolize the sodium in your body but the three minerals work well together to regulate water balance and nerve muscles.
