Sel de Guérande (Celtic Sea Salt) is praised for being unrefined and rich in trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which support hydration, electrolyte balance, nerve function, and muscle health, unlike processed table salt stripped of these elements. Benefits include improved digestion, better sleep, enhanced flavour in cooking, and aiding post-workout recovery, but moderation is key as it still contains sodium.
Culinary suggestions...
Use it as a finishing salt on meals, in cooking for soups/stews (grind if coarse), for baking, to enhance dark chocolate/caramels, in fermentation (sauerkraut, pickles), or dissolved in water for hydration/electrolytes. Its unrefined nature adds unique flavour and minerals, making it great for bringing, seasoning, or even non-culinary uses like preserving flowers or removing limescale.
