What is Celtic Sea Salt?
Salt is not just salt. Each type of salt, such as Celtic Sea Salt, has its own unique composition of minerals and potential health benefits.
How is Celtic sea salt extracted?
- Collection of seawater: Seawater is carefully collected from the shallow salt pans along Brittany's coastline. These salt pans are called "œillets".
- Inflow of seawater: Seawater is then guided into the shallow salt pans in a controlled manner, usually at high tide. When the water enters the salt pans, the process of evaporation begins.
- Evaporation: Due to the influence of the sun and the wind, the seawater slowly evaporates, concentrating the salt. This process can take several days depending on weather conditions.
- Formation of Salt Crystals: As the water evaporates, salt crystals form on the surface of the water. These delicate crystals are carefully collected by hand by salt farmers.
- Harvesting Celtic Sea Salt: The salt crystals that form on the surface are considered Celtic sea salt. They are carefully harvested using special rakes or shovels and then collected in large basins.
- Drying and packaging: The collected sea salt is then carefully dried to remove excess moisture. It is then packaged and prepared for distribution to various markets around the world.
The applicability of Celtic sea salt
- Cooking Salt: Celtic sea salt is used as a flavorful alternative to regular table salt in cooking and seasoning foods. It not only adds a salty taste, but also subtle minerals and trace elements that can enrich the taste of dishes.
- Bath Salts: Celtic sea salt is often used as an ingredient in bath salts because of its purported therapeutic properties. It is added to bath water to soften, hydrate and detoxify the skin, and to relax muscles.
- Body and facial scrubs: Ground Celtic sea salt is used as a natural exfoliating agent for exfoliating the skin. It removes dead skin cells, stimulates blood circulation and leaves the skin soft and smooth.
- Compress: Celtic sea salt can be used in compresses to treat skin problems such as acne, eczema and psoriasis. It is mixed with water to form a paste and applied to the affected areas to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
- Preservative: Celtic sea salt can be used as a natural preservative for preserving food. It helps preserve flavor and adds a hint of saltiness to pickled treats.
