Sea Salt


I recently discovered about health benefits of sea salt. What is the difference? Sea salt is made from evaporating sea water in a natural way, that's preserving all minerals and table salt is a refined one and in the process lost all the minerals. What about Iodine?? Yes it is necessary for the body. I discovered that Hain pure foods is making sea salt with Iodine and I added recently that to my pantry.
