Celtic Sea Salt® isn’t just another seasoning—it’s a natural, mineral-rich salt that brings both flavor and wellness to your daily life. Since 1976, when Jacques Delangre began harvesting salt from ancient sea beds from local farmers around the world, Celtic Sea Salt® has stayed true to its artisanal roots: unrefined, free of chemical additives, and hand-harvested from pristine waters.
Whether you’re a chef looking to elevate your dishes or a wellness enthusiast seeking natural electrolytes, Celtic Sea Salt® has a place in your kitchen and your lifestyle.
Why Choose Celtic Sea Salt®?
- Full spectrum mineral salt: More than 70 trace minerals and elements naturally present.
- Naturally lower in sodium: As low as 80% NaCl compared to 98%+ in table salt.
- Electrolyte support: Helps with hydration, energy, and recovery (see: draxe.com).
- Artisanal process: Harvested by hand with centuries-old methods in France, Spain, Portugal, Guatemala, Mexico, and Hawaii.
How to Use Celtic Sea Salt®
- For Hydration: A pinch of Celtic Sea Salt® in water can help replenish electrolytes before or after a workout. Many health professionals recommend it as part of a natural hydration routine.
- In Everyday Cooking: Use Celtic Sea Salt® in place of table salt to season soups, vegetables, meats, and grains. The mineral complexity enhances flavor and requires less salt overall for the same taste impact.
- As a Finishing Touch: Sprinkle Celtic Sea Salt® crystals on grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or chocolate desserts to add a gourmet crunch and elevate presentation.
- Baking & Fermentation: Fine-ground varieties mix easily into doughs, batters, and pickling solutions, supporting fermentation naturally without chemical additives.
