Salt

There are three types of salt commonly used in raw food cuisine: Celtic Sea Salt, Himalayan salt, and Real Salt. They are about 80 percent sodium chloride and contain over 50 trace minerals that are used by the body. These salts help keep us hydrated, replenish minerals, and maintain a healthy sodium-potassium balance. Common table salt is processed with chemicals, and all the trace minerals are removed.
