Today I finally get to nerd out on SALT with Darryl Bosshardt of Redmond's Real Salt since I use their salt in and on my foods daily plus trying to brine olives (first timers) in their real salt!   What is your interest in SALT!? "I love talking about salt because it is one thing that it so often overlooked and misunderstood, yet is one of the key elements for life. In terms of importance, salt is right at the top of the list behind oxygen and water - but is so often mistakenly demonized by those that just don’t understand its essential role. And when it comes to any diet, keto, fasting, clean eating, cleansing, fermenting foods, etc - salt plays such an important factor."   Some of our Real Salt Questions: •       Is salt really bad for me? Should I try to eliminate sodium from my diet? •       I have heard that "sea salt" is better for me, is that true? •       What are differences in "sea salt" and other salts like the “pink”, “red” and “back” salts? •       What should I look for and what questions should I ask when trying to find a Natural Salt? •       What about "salt substitutes"? •       I know iodine is good for us, even essential, but what about Iodized Salt? Is Iodized salt a good source of Iodine? •       How is salt generally produced? How is Real Salt produced? •       How did "Real Salt" get started? •       If the right kind of salt is really good for me, how much should I try to get per day? •       Are there other products like “Real Salt” that Redmond has? •       What are some great salt resource books for those that would like to read a little about natural salts?
