Happy April! I hope it’s been a fantastic beginning to this new month. With a new month, comes a new Wellness Wednesday topic. This month we’re going to be talking about salt. I thought after a challenge like lasts months sugar cutting challenge, we could all use something a bit easier. 🙂
As you probably see from the title, I’m not going to be harping on you to cut down on salt, but to simply switch the type of salt you’re consuming.
There is a lot of conflicting information out there on salt. Some places you’ll read that salt is salt and there really aren’t any differences. I’m hoping to give you a play by play comparison next week so you can see the differences between the regular salt you buy in the grocery store and the pink salt in my salt shaker.
There are several types of sea salts that are great options. I buy mine from a company called SaltWorks (I’m not an affiliate, but I wish they had a program). They carry a wide variety of high quality salts and have great prices (with free shipping right now too). I love their Himalayan pink sea salt. This salt has approximately 84 minerals and trace elements.
So, for now I urge you to go buy some good salt if you don’t have any in your house already and use it liberally.
Do you use sea salt? What is your favorite kind?

Oooooo…I love the new challenge this month. I, too, love my Himalayan Pink Sea Salt! 🙂

Hmmm…I’m not sure why my picture isn’t loading (quinoa blueberry mini loaves)!? Bummer! Let me know if you know a tip to make it show up. 😉
Not sure why it’s not loading! That is a bummer. Blueberry muffins. That sounds YUMMY!
I use sea salt for adding flavor while I’m cooking and at the table, but I use table salt for baking. How do you substitute the sea salt for table salt in baking? Is it tsp for tsp?
Yup! I just use it teaspoon for teaspoon.
Thanks for hosting!
I use Himalayan Pink Salt and I love it.
What’s better than chocolate cake? Chocolate cake that tastes like a brownie because it’s made with coconut oil! I shared a recipe that you’ll want to make right.this.minute. Consider yourself warned!
And what’s the big deal with saturated fat? Why does “everyone” say it’s so bad for us? What does the research actually say? I shared my research on the topic and it’s an excellent read for anyone wondering why the real foodies are pushing saturated fat when the “experts” say otherwise.
And I use sea salt. 🙂
Sounds awesome! Thanks for linking up. In February I wrote several posts about fat, so I’ll be interested in reading what you have to say about fats too 🙂
I’ve been using pink Himalayan Sea Salt. Love it!
We use sea salt at home. We made the switch a couple of months ago, I’ve never heard of pink salt though. I’ll have to check it out.
I’ve been trying to grab the linky button for a couple of weeks now but every time I click on the links on your right sidebar it brings me to a breastfeeding tips page.
Thanks for letting me know Kristen! I’ll check it out and see if I can fix it 🙂 Edit: I think I’ve got it fixed.
