  Fleur de Sel is believed by many chefs to be the best finishing salt on earth. Its irregularly sized and unevenly shaped refractive crystals range in color from from barn owl gray to oyster white.
  Fleur de Sel is also very high in mineral content as a result of the well-controlled evaporation process used by the salt rakers who harvest it from the salt pans where the sea water is evaporated. It contains 0.25% calcium, 0.37% magnesium, and 0.09% potassium – as well as varying trace quantities of iron, zinc, manganese, and dozens of other minerals. These combine with the sodium chloride to form a well-rounded and mellow finishing salt. (Bitterman, 2014)
  There are numerous other healthful and beautiful, unrefined sea salts. See The SaltWorks® Gourmet Salt Guide and The Healing Properties of Unrefined Salts for information about them and additional information on the health benefits of the sea salts described above.

  If a fascinating and easy to read history of salt is tantalizing to you, I highly recommend Mark Kurlansky’s Salt: A World History.
