Get Salty

Are you still cooking with chemicals? So-called “table salt” is rock or ocean salt that’s mined, heat blasted, chemically treated and fortified with iodine until it’s devoid of all essential minerals and nutrients.

For better taste and health, look for organic, artisan salts, like those from the Himalayas, which are packed with trace elements and minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron. Straight from the nose-bleeding altitudes of the world’s highest peaks, the 250-million-year-old salt has been used for centuries as a folk remedy for a plethora of health issues including stimulating circulation, lowering blood pressure and removing toxins such as heavy metals from the body.

But most importantly, it makes food taste better.
