🔴 REVISED MINERAL ANALYSIS COMPARISON CHART
In the video regarding Redmond's Real Salt, I noted zero for Calcium, Magnesium & Potassium. Regrettably, I missed this vital information in the mineral analysis.
➡️HERE IS THE CORRECTED CHART: bit.ly/3qUMTGy
🟢NOTE: I meant to say the Khewra mine tunnels stretch 25 miles, not that they are 25 miles straight down.

🟢 Note Regarding the Celtic Sea Salt Mineral Analysis:
The mineral analysis used in this video for Celtic Sea Salt was from a report 15+ years old. The analysis that is now provided on the website & packaging has differing values. The company website says they test for over 70 elements and get about 60 back in readings. There is no reason to doubt this. However, the current analysis given does not provide the full spectrum for viewing, only partial. Additionally, the values are presented in percentages without a given serving size. Due to these information gaps, I chose to use the complete, older analysis in the video comparison. Is the older analysis irrelevant? I do not believe so. But as stated in the video, the values for all 3 salts are a generalization since it is near impossible to have the exact same values for each shaker of salt. Natural products have natural occurring variances. The bottom line is this, all the salts covered in the video have a broad spectrum of trace minerals and elements that meet or exceed 60. If you wish to crack the case with your own research between the new and older spectral analyses, the pleasure can be all yours!

Greetings from Pakistan. Himalayan salt also comes in black, white and the rarest is brown/copper coloured. Alexander the Great's horse licked the rocks around Khewra Salt Mines, so it has been around a long time. There is also an asthma treatment centre inside the mines as the salty air has healing benefits for asthmatics.
Can you please tell me about lead, mercury and arsenic in the pink salt? I have used it for years and love it, but I am getting people telling me it's contaminated. I would like to dispell these rumors. Australia has told their citizens that it shouldn't be used.
@@joyful_tanya I would not trust what your 'government' or mainstream media has to say about anything. The same goes for me here in the US and pretty much every other place in the world. This is because our 'governments' do not want us to be healthy.
@@joyful_tanya I have never heard such things and I have not seen any laboratory tests - but I think it would be a very worthwhile undertaking. I have visited the Khewra Salt Mines where the pink salt comes from and it is very pure. There are certainly no microplastics or modern contaminants in it. A small railway takes workers and visitors 1 km inside the mountain which is amazingly entirely salt. Literally everything is salt and like marble it has patterns - some is pink, some black, some white and a tiny amount amber. It certainly looks pure. Inside the mountain is a clinic for asthmatic patients and there are several bathing ponds for different types of healing. It is quite massive. This is not the only salt mountain as it is part of The Salt Ranges which has salt everywhere. I have hiked in other mountains a long way away and also found high salt content in rocks there too. The geologists explanation for how all this salt formed lacks credibility to me and does not stand up to questioning, so its really a mystery why the mountains of salt are there. The wholesale price of salt is also very cheap - maybe 50 cents per kg, so unfortunately the workers don't earn much there.
@@DestinationTravel WOW! I had read about it but your explanation and description is fantastic. Thank you very much for explaining. I'm so very sorry that the workers are not paid a living wage for such dangerous work inside the salt mines. Maybe the contamination comes from the processers, if there is any. We purchase it in ground form either coarse or fine or sometimes larger crystals. Someone must purchase from the mines and grind it, package etc. But they're making a lot of money compared to the poor worker.
Thanks again! ❤️
HIMALAYAN SALT FAVORITE AMONG FRIEND, Cooks
FRESH grinding it
AT BORDER TEXAS OF EL PASO
Your presentation-no nonsense, no wasted words-is one of the best I've seen. Also you left no stone (crystal?) unturned or examined. Thank you!
For me, the gray Celtic sea salt tastes the best. It’s absolutely delicious, although I like Redmond’s too.
I agree. I like Redmond’s but it doesn’t completely dissolve in hot water when I need to make a brine for fermenting veggies. Also, when I use it in casseroles, even the fine salt, there are always crunchy bites. I still use it, but I prefer the Celtic.
Magnesium tastes Great, if not oxide. Celtic has more magnesium, but what kind?
Alot of lead traces In Celtic
It’s all of the micro plastics in the sea salt that make it taste so good 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Anthony-630thank you i was going to order some!!! Aint there anything that doesn't harm us? Watch the video she throws the all seeing eye up smh cant trust anyone
I bought all three and mixed them together. That solves any problem.
I like the way you think.
I do that too!
I think this is a good idea to
Don't be silly, you take one on a Monday, the next on Tuesday and so on .... 😂
@@davidhaysom2446 To each his own..
I had the same thoughts, black himalayan salt, celtic sea salt and redmond salt :D
Redmonds absolutely stopped my studden electrolytes imbalances..
Same! Leg cramps gone within a week. Incredible.
How do you use it for electrolytes inbalance?
Check out LMNT for electrolytes. They are the best.
@@mmaldo7798add it to your water
Will this help with peripheral edema ( swelling) I have had since starting Carnivore?
I add a pinch of salt to my drinking water. I use pink salt, and I've used my daughter's Redmonds salt. My pink salt dissolves completely but the Redmonds always leaves sands/particles that do not. For this reason, I like my pink salt better.
All these levels of minerals tested should be taken with a grain of salt. 😉
Lol😂😂😂
YOU'RE FUNNY
Ba dum tss
Thank you for true LOL! In hospital with broken back and just got first bag of Celtic salt recently. Almost midnight....scary time at hospital...😮😮but you made me feel much better. Time to be quiet or might be taken to "special rooms"! Have a great one John...❤😊😊
Different flavors from each but I support Redmonds. I lived in the area and knew many of the families and the owners of the mine. The bentonite clay is also great. They are honest, use third-party analysis reports, and are 100% American. They have really grown in the last 20 years. My only gripe with them is that they now cover their trucks so the salt rocks don't fall on the side of the farm roads when they make turns. No more free salt for us, LOL, but they are usually more affordable compared to the others.
😂funny story about the free salt hahaha
I wish I could visit Utah and the mine one day. We have been using RS for at least 15 years now.
Redmonds, all the way. Sad about losing that sweet free salt, though.
Celtic Sea Salt is my go-to!
I really appreciate the breakdown of information you gave, especially in regards to the minerals. This video was truly excellent!
I agree. It has helped me come to the conclusion that the difference in mineral values is minor enough that it really makes no difference from a health standpoint. That said, different people may find that their individual taste buds prefer one over the other, and mineral values may be a component there. The bigger and more likely question is, are those taste preferences a result of actual differences or perceived differences, or are other factors such as grain size and density bigger factors?
I stopped doing sea salt after learning about all the micro plastic and any other sea pollutants, at least they test for some heavy metals
What about your iodine? None in Celtic
baja gold salt is probably the best in the world
I actually use a salt mixture of Redmonds and Celtic Sea Salt in my salt shaker. 😊
My horse loves the Redmond Rock. It's a rock of salt that hangs on a fence post by a rope. It's great for getting horses to drink more water, important in avoiding colic.
We use Redmonds and we love its flavor best. Just the issue of transportation and the number of companies processing other salts would win the argument for me. Redmonds also has the BOMB smoked salts. They were a game changer for my family not only on meats, but almost everything. They are pricey but just as pure.
I didn't know about the smoked salt. I'm definitely going to try it ASAP. Thanks for mentioning it!
Me too!! Thank you!
Where do you find redmonds salt? We use himalaya salt. Geena
I love their chili lime salt on melons
@@christaj1754 😳I need that! Is it like Tarjin?
I lived in West Africa as a child and the salt fields in Senegal were really cool to watch.
Absolutely
I saw it too on my way to Gambia a few years ago
Thanks for your comment
@@yemisiaderuku2902 The border crossing to Gambia will always stick in my memory. Every time we went through, there were tons of vendors selling freshly roasted cashew nuts. The aroma was incredible!
@@palarious absolutely
It make me have particular appreciation for Cashew nut when I returned to Nigeria
A wonderful experience indeed
@@yemisiaderuku2902 I hope one day I get to visit Nigeria; I've never been.
I like Redmond’s real salt
This video is everything I needed and nothing I didn't. Excellent work, well delivered, in a concise and easy to understand manner.
In my country, Slovenia, we using natural sea salt from Adriatic sea. It is similar to Celtic salt but with iodin.🤗
Micro plastics in sea salt. Bad news.
@chrismyers9951 Bad news: micro plastics are unavoidable. You can minimize how much you consume, but you cannot escape it.
Micro plastics are in your environment, homes, clothes, foods. The list is endless and it's impossible to avoid.
😂😂😂 o may. It is possible that micro plastic is in sea salt. So what. If you are pannicing about everything you eat or drink the best think you can do is to die. Stop thinking this way because sich thoughts can kill you. Don't forget that human body is such a sophisticate machine that is possible to hell itself if you don't disturb this proces with toxic thoughts. They are poissoning us for centurys but we are still here.
What is the name of that salt (company)?
Redmond salt convert here. Absolutely love the sharpness in the taste. To me, after using multiple types of salt over the years, I've come to use Redmond as my go-to salt for everything. Excellent product
I'm a huge fan myself! I started using it at the advice of a functional medicine doctor I follow, & it is well worth the extra money vs table salt. This video confirms my thoughts on it!
I used to get it for free since my brother in law worked there.
I've been buying Redmonds for 31 years. It used to be a lot cheaper. I really like the flavor and while I've tried others, it's still my go to :).
Perfect timing on the release of another great video. I too quit using iodized salt decades ago and have all three of your test salts in my kitchen. Thanks for all the great info. Your videos are great reference material and I bookmark each one.
Very well put together video, I have been curious about this for a while now and you broke this down elegantly with sources neatly linked to back up your information. Thank you🙏🏻
I’m very happy to have found your channel! Not only do you do a very thorough job but your voice is very soothing
I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate this, both as a geologist, and someone with POTS. My doctor has recommended I have about 8-10g of salt a day, and I have realized that I really need an increased amount of potassium and magnesium as well. The fact that Redmond's doesn't have either of those 2 is incredibly helpful to know
Error on these values is noted in description. Redmonds does contain Ca, Mg and P. Please see given values in description.
I am pretty sure that salt shouldn't be your source for potassium and magnesium supplementation.
1/2 cup Redmond, 1/2 teaspoons magnesium glycinate, 1& 3/4 teaspoons KCL (potassium chloride). I got the info from Mary’s Nest you tube title: The Easy Way To Make Homemade Electrolyte Drinks And Sports Drinks
@@jennyrose2200 stuff is coming out that your body needs more salt than government tells you
@@Icewing10 government is one source I don't trust. What we don't need is an imbalance in our body. For one, my 1 kidney is at stage 3. I get blood tests 4 times a year to monitor. I'm 68 with low heart rate and fuss with my doctors about not wanting to be on prescription meds like they want everyone with a high normal bp. Used to be normal till they decided to lower those values.
I only wish all subject matter experts would present their material as efficiently. Great job. Subscribed!
We all wish that..
Agree! I subscribed too.
@@thinkingoutloud6741 I concur..so did I!
I have a salt collection from all over the world but the only salt places I have been are the Atacama desert in Chile, Hawaii to the volcanic salt, and Frances shores for Celtic grey salt. I love them all
Celtic salt is delicious, but I found it harder to manage in cooking. I use Redmond's and I find the flavor really wonderful as well.
You rock! I have all three salts in my cupboard, Redmond's has only been there for a few months. I have the least "experience" with it, but, I've often wondered some of the things you covered today. Thanks!
I love and use only redmond salt and i live 52 miles away from the mine
The way of your speaking so nice tone that made me calm. I really like that. Thank you for all those handy information
And than suddenly she takes machine gun and start shoting.
Thank you so much for taking the time to research the details & share them with us. You are appreciated 💙🙏🏾
Love the taste of Redmond’s Real Salt, I actually tossed Himalayan salt I had been using, you can feel the difference.
Nicely done video on a topic that is more important than most people realize. I have done "salt tastings" for nearly 20 years as part of my holistic health & nutrition business. I always include basic table salt as the last one of 5-6 salts being tasted, and my clients are usually shocked at the differences and appalled at the harsh metallic flavor of the table salt most of them commonly used up to then!
MH ~I see, thank you. Would you mind telling me out of the 5 or 6 different types of salt, which were in 1st and 2nd place as the best ones.??
~I was told that ocean micro-plastics are in sea salt (thus to avoid it).

Hi what about kosher salt?
Hi Mh. What is your top pick for salt for health?
Celtic is my favorite,… and interestingly it's least in sodium and chloride. I live in San Diego.
Literally my first video of yours and I subscribed because you detailed the the data and verbally cited the sources in video. Poised speech as well 👏👏✅
Also, her voice is very pleasant to the ear. So many channels use artificial voices that are painful to listen to! ✌🏼💖
I like your idea near the end of the video of 'mixing it up'. That way you get a larger variety of the trace minerals.
I have used all of them and keep coming back to celtic because of it's robust and not overpowering flavor.
You answered all of my questions. Thank you! You have a new subscriber.❤
Thank you sooo much on this information! I’m sure many will find it useful when choosing salts.
WOW... I really enjoyed that! I have been using all three but lately have leaned on Redmonds... quite a different taste. I love this info and just subscribed and will start some fermenting! Very cool
What a wonderful overview of these nutritious salts! This is the most detailed info I've yet encountered on beneficial salts, and it was so informative and deeply appreciated. 🙏🌟

How much can one take a day?? Of this salt
Great video Arienna I have now subscribed to your channel as your videos are informative and easy to follow. I just bought some Celtic salt recommended by Barbara O’Neil. I also use Redman salt recommended by Doug and Stacy and have used Himalayan salt for many years. I was never big on using salt, thankfully as we only used table iodised salt growing up. When I started using Maldon salt, kelp salt and Himalayan salt I realised how lacking table salt was and then learnt how bad it is. Looking forward to putting Celtic into my mix of salts. Love your channel ❤
Wow - very informative and well presented. Thank you! I use Redmond salt, but I think I’ll try some Celtic salt now after watching your video.
Thank you for sharing this informative news on salts!💖
I watched your other salt comparison. I'm glad you did this one because I use Redmonds. Thankyou!!! I also use Himalayan salt.
Pink salt gives me a rash. It took me a long time to figure it out. I finally found out that the pink color is caused by decomposed crustacean shells. I didn't know I was allergic to crustaceans until I found out about the pink salt giving me an itchy rash, mostly on my stomach.
How did you manage to figure that out ? It is said the pink maybe the red is from natural Iron in the salt. That would mean the pink from crustaceans makes Himalayan salt not kosher? Not sure.
@@reccocon3442 ~ I found it out from my daughter who is a certified dietician and healthcare professional. She told me that there are millions of people who are allergic to crustaceans, and she recommended that I forgo using the pink salt for awhile to see if the rash would go away, so I took her advice and within a week or two the rash went away. I had been suffering with it for months.
@@jimyost2585 That is not proof, that is circumstantial evidence. Rashes come and go and your personal experience is useless. Stop eating dead muscle tissue maybe... and NO the red does NOT come from shells. Jeez. Maybe your daughter just read a few old books and got a stupid degree in nonsense. Maybe.
Thank you.
If dissolved and then pink water it could be dye and that can cause rash but I would assume you did this but for others to read.
Thanks for this super helpful chart with your calculations! 🙏
Thank you I enjoyed learning about these different salts. I have used all three though mostly I use Redman's and recently tried their naturally smoked salts.
I have ONLY used sea salt for many years now. And the information you give here is the reason why. I have used all three, but my personal favourite is Himalayan Pink salt.
Excellent comparison and facts about each. Seems you can’t go wrong with any of the three.
I like the taste of Redmonds
Thank you very much for doing 'mathematical adjustment' & for the chart itself! Nan, the stuff I learn when I least expect it! Thank you!
One of the best videos I’ve seen on salt comparison. Great explanation and detailed review. Your voice is so calming and really makes it easy to concentrate.
Thank you for a thorough look at these salts!🎉
Thank you for charting this. I have always used Redmond for my cooking and a pinch of Celtic salt in my water for electrolytes/hydration❤🥰❤️
Barbara O'Neill recommends Celtic salt. It has 82 minerals!
Thank You! This was extraordinarily helpful! Shalom 🙏
WOW!!!! This video is amazing & full of information. I’m switching things up now. Thanks!
Great informative channel! For a full spectrum of nutrients including vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, there's also Irish sea moss, bladderwrack, and burdock root. You Rock!! 🙏🏼
Right
I'm a Pink salt girl myself! I've been using only that for years. I have purchased Redmond's Real Salt a couple of times but I much prefer the flavor and a higher mineral content of Pink salt. And no microplastics.
me too
What brand do you buy?
@@cactusJenSherpa Pink Himalayan Salt; San Francisco Salt Co.
Claims of no added iodine but it naturally contains more Iodine than Redmond's.
No added ingredients. Great flavor.
Excellent data and information here! Really loved the breakdown. There was a study that came out maybe a year ago, where a third party tested all of these salts and many more too, and found a lot of lead in salt across the board! One of the rare few with no lead was celtic sea salt, so I have been sticking to that one since then.
Ooo... That's great information too! Thanks for that as well! 👏🏽
I would be glad to know if a heart patient could use the celtic or himalayas salt. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Yes and they package in glas from Mattison fabrics.
Jacobson's is the lowest.
any particular brand
I love my Redmonds Makes such a difference in the flavor. I use no table salt now. Thank you.
I tasted all of those and my preference remains the tasty grey salt. Thank you for your video.
Ive been using pink salt since 5 years and its very helpful
6:44 After seeing this chart side-by-side comparison, I am glad that I am a *PINK SALT* girl! Plus I just like the flavor of pink salt better than Redmond's Real Salt. And I've only had Celtic Sea salt one time many years ago, so I would have to purchase that again and make a taste comparison at this time.
I use all these salts for various reasons. My favorite recipe for electrolyte water is water, Celtic salt and lemon juice. It's fantastic.
How much Celtic salt to add to water ?
@@susanlarouche1758 A shake or two will do , maybe 1/4 tsp or to taste. Redmond or Celtic is good. If you don’t get iodine from your diet add a couple drops occasionally. No artificial sweetener in this.
@@susanlarouche1758 see my repost.
We switched to Redmonds a couple years ago & never looked back. We also, tho, have Celtic salt on hand. Like you, we avoid table salt like the plague. I even carry a tiny bottle of Redmonds w/me so that when we eat out, if we need salt, we don't have to use the shaker of table salt.
Just know that 99% of restaurants use white table salt in their food, and many use msg as well
dont know if it matters about the salt from utah but there were lots of nuclear tests there
Salt from Redmans is found under ground covered with old 40ayer of clay. Your statement is totally inaccurate.

I have always used sea salt sometimes Himalayan pink salt. I switched to Redmond salt for about a year. The slight constant discomfort in the kidney area is gone. I want to try Celtic salt.
Thank you for the information. And yes, fermented red cabbage turned out very tasty.👌

Thank you for an absolutely outstanding and informative video on salt! Just subscribed!
Thank you. Your voice is calming.
Love both Redmond and Celtic
"Himalayan " and any pink colored salts look appetizing, however they are all high in fluoride. Fluoride compounds in high levels cause many health conditions. Since I learned this fact, I only use sea salt or Redmond's. Redmond's provided analysis upon my request. The Fluoride content of Redmond's and sea salt was much lower.
SIGH I'm so sick of F being everywhere...it's in tap water, our food, our food's food...
Great video, very informative! I would recommend that you use a better quality microphone as I I had a hard time listening to some words and pronunciation. Thank you for your hard work in making these videos and consistent health content. ❤
Very well researched. Excellent information-thanks a lot.
I buy 5lbs Celtic salt and keep it as treasure.. I like it’s grey with impurities!! It’s has some microbes from the earth and they good for us !!
Himalaian salt I like as well
Never tried Redmond salt… thank you for idea… will have to order one soon
Great video!! As always! What a wonderful channel!!❤
Where do you get larger quantities from?
I'm very impressed at your analyses of these salts. 🇬🇾
However, I would never believe that filtration claim by those companies of filtering plastics...!
Thank you! this was great! I love Redmonds and I just got some Grey celtic sea salt and I have pink himalayan as well. Thank you for the information.
Wow, thank you for your clear and researched info!
I live in South Africa - most of our pink Himalayan pink salt is repackaged and sold by all sorts of distributors and few give place if origin. I believe there is a lot of contaminated pink salt and we are unable to tell the difference
Thank you for the info!
Where can l get redmens salt
@@marjorieharrington4953can be purchased at a health food store or online.
Agreed. Unless you are buying Himalayan salt from a company large enough to purchase it directly from the mining company, it probably goes through a lot of hands before the consumer gets it. Every stop, shipper, processor, and package along the way is a possible source of contamination. As with anything you ingest, the fewer people who handle it and the closer you are to the source, the better. Some governments have decent standards while others have bad or none.
I bought Himalayan salt in South Africa and realized that what is in the bottle, is not all salt. This is the answer from Google:
"The pink granules in your Himalayan Salt are natural impurities - minerals that come with the salt. They have no health benefits, but they're not dangerous either and they're definitely not adulterated. Adulteration is when a food manufacturer secretly adds something cheaper with the aim of making a quick buck."
This quote is from the microplastics study that you referenced : "Based on the research reviewed here, salt sourced from Asia may have the most microplastic contamination followed by Pacific Sea Salt, Celtic Sea Salt and Himalayan Rock Salt."
Been thinking about which salt is best to use and then found this article! Thank you for all the info! I thinl Im going to go with celtic. Getting rid of Mortons salt immediately! Thank again! Perfect timing!
Thank you very much for the in depth information. Much appreciated.
Thank you for pronouncing the word Celtic properly.
Excellent, thank you!
Thank you for your complete examination of the salts. Me personally Himalayan for me. After watching documentaries on Ghana and their electronics recycling and the pollution that’s produced,(yes I know from our electronics here too in the USA) I tend to like mined salt
Loving your channel, thank you so much for the valuable information, see you next time
We recently went on vacation in Indonesia, the salt they use there is local natural rock sea salt. Tastes pure, delicious, and very cheap, costs only $1 per 2lb.
Yes, when I spent many months living in Bali, I used Balinese unrefined salt, which I enjoyed and felt good with, though I usually only use Himalayan salt. (I find table salt unbearable, it makes me swell and has no flavor no matter how much I use.)
I use Himalayan pink salt. I have the Celtic sea salt but haven't tried it yet. Azure had a sale so I bought three one pound packages and I hope we like it. I tried Redmond's in the past but it has a high silica content and the little crunches annoyed me. I kept thinking one of my dental fillings just died. I tried to ignore the crunches but gave up. I support American businesses but I just can't handle the silica in my salt. If you can't guess I have a dental phobia. So back to Himalayan pink salt I went. I don't even keep white table salt in the house. Even for canning I use pink salt. Great video.
Thank you for your thoughts on the different flavors and methods of use.
I've been making a sea salt 🧂 blend of all 3 of these salts, and have recently added Baja Gold Sea salt.
Great idea. Would you share the ratio that you have found works nicely?
Baja Gold sea salt is great
I switched to Redmond's about a year ago. The price is good and compared to the others it is "locally produced".
I hear everyone saying Redmond's is cheap but to get a bag delivered to Florida is outrageous. I can buy pink, black, or white Himalayan salt for $1/lb locally but I can't touch other Celtic or Redmond's anywhere near that for bulk usage. 50,lbs for instance. And the small bucket is absurdly expensive
Womderful video, & you calm speaking voice is soothing to hear throughout this video.
Cheers, & be forever blessed!
Love it. Thank you so much for the information.
I didn't think too much of the salt's 'flavors' until I watched "Dating in the Kitchen" starring Zhao Lusi and Lin Shen. (Great drama, by the way)💗 He was, as a chef, teaching her about the difference in the taste of each salt and how the differences change the taste of the food. I immediately took all of my different salts out and started to taste them. I find it truly remarkable how each salt can change the flavor of a dish. I now use 'the salt' that flavors my food to the taste that I like. There doesn't seem to be any extreme differences in mineral content. The Grey salt has a sharp taste and the Himalayan a mellower flavor. To each his own.👍💕 Will have to look around; don't remember ever seeing Redmond's in Canada! Maybe in the larger City centers??
Lov Celtic salts. Used to demo them in Natural Grocers and other stores and always sold all flavors completely out!!!!!
This was so informative I had to subscribe!
fabulous review. most helpful information! thank you.
I mix Celtic and Himalayan salts together, works a treat, great texture and colour! I cook with it, sprinkle in water and bathe in it, for bath add bicarb & borax. 💖🙏✨🌟
Well done. I appreciate your very unbiased analysis. I have in the past used Mediterranean/Italian salt. Curious as to how it compares. Thank you again.
