Sea salt

Sea food salt has been on our store shelves for a relatively long time, and it currently occupies one of the places of honour among other bulk products. But numerous hostesses still continue to buy the usual table salt out of habit. So in vain, because one of the useful properties of sea salt can undoubtedly be called the presence of a vital element for the body - iodine. The daily demand can be easily covered with only five grams of this substance. However, when using sea salt, it should be remembered that iodine evaporates very quickly (only a couple of hours after opening the bag).

The taste of sea salt is difficult to distinguish from the taste of table salt, especially in dissolved form, since they practically do not differ. The calorie content of sea salt is exactly the same as that of ordinary salt (almost zero).

By the way, sea salt is usually extracted from the sea naturally, that is, by evaporation or evaporation of water under the influence of solar heat. This process has been going on for a very long time - more than 4, 000 years.

In cooking, this type of salt has long found its application and has become popular: the chefs of many restaurants have long appreciated the pleasant aroma, subtle taste and lightest texture of sea salt, which resembles the smell of ocean breeze. It is customary to add it to various soups, when cooking vegetables, rice, pasta, for salting fish, as well as canning.

Sea salt benefits

The benefits of sea salt are undeniable, as it retains almost all of the natural mineral components (about sixty) that are found in seawater. But keep in mind that it is important to add it to ready-made dishes, due to the fact that the wonderful properties of sea salt evaporate during heat treatment.

The unconditional benefit of sea salt is also observed when it is included in the daily diet of people who need to strengthen immunity. This product is necessary if you want to tidy up the thyroid and intestines, as well as adjust blood pressure.

Damage to sea salt

Most people believe that sea salt is completely harmless to health, unlike ordinary table salt. However, thanks to the latest research by scientists, the opposite has been proved - regardless of the type of salt, they all contain sodium chloride in their composition. This chemical element, consumed in large doses, can cause tangible harm to human health.

Without abusing and using no more than 1 teaspoon of this bulk product per day, you will protect yourself and your family from the possible harm of sea salt, which is expressed, for example, in increased blood pressure. This, in turn, can lead to heart failure and stroke.
