What Is Celtic Salt? Celtic salt is sea salt. It’s also called “sel gris” or “gray salt” because of its gray color, which comes from the extra minerals: magnesium, calcium, potassium, zinc, and iron. A grain of Celtic salt is bigger than regular table salt, too. Another thing that sets Celtic salt apart from traditional salt that you see in the grocery store is that not all the water evaporates from Celtic sea salt when it’s processed. Where does Celtic salt come from? Celtic salt is gathered from coastlines after sea water has evaporated, leaving the salt behind. Originally Celtic salt was only sourced from the Celtic Seas near northwestern France, but now it’s sourced from other coastlines, too. Celtic Salt vs. Himalayan Salt and Other Types of Salt Like other types of salt, Celtic sea salt is mostly sodium chloride, but it has trace levels of magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron. Not that long ago, another sea salt, Himalayan salt, became a popular addition to some kitchens. You may have read in some places that Himalayan salt is a rock salt because it is mined in a salt mine in Pakistan. However, Himalayan salt is really a sea salt like Celtic salt. The Himalayan salt mine exists where there used to be a sea. Himalayan salt is quite high in sodium chloride and has trace minerals. Himalayan salt has almost 420 milligrams of sodium in a quarter of a teaspoon – 18% of the daily value for a healthy adult. Celtic sea salt has more sodium, at 500 milligrams in a quarter teaspoon – 21% of the daily value. Interestingly, the American Heart Association says that because sea salt grains are larger, you’ll get fewer grains on your spoon – which means you may get less sodium overall from 1 teaspoon. Table salt, the finer grind of salt that’s a staple in most kitchens, has even more sodium than Celtic salt and Himalayan salt: 590 milligrams in a quarter teaspoon – 25% of the daily value. But it has the added benefit of being fortified with iodine, which Celtic salt doesn’t have. Iodine is an essential nutrient but it’s not available in a lot of foods in a typical North American diet. By fortifying table salt, most people get the iodine they need.
