How does this work with the coarse grey Celtic sea salt?

as long as the salt is dry. I know some brands of celtic sea salt has the texture of wet sand. I use Himalayan sea salt in mine. Works great. if your salt is sticky in nature I wouldn't recommend this product. I think the salt would gum it up.

Can't imagine it would be any different than the coarse pink Himalayan salt we use it for. Works great for that.

I have used it for this kind of salt for only three weeks. So far, so good.

Hello Iris, I am in agreement with the other answers -you might be able to (possibly) use the finer grained Himalayan sea salt (not the regular salt sold in grocery stores). However, the directions said,"not to shake the comtainer". If you decide to try the finer grains, be careful not to shake the container, and/or wait until the "salt has settled". Also, if you want peace of mind, simply use the medium or larger chunks of the Himalayan pink sea salt!

I have been using it. The air gets blown up from underneath so nothing to really gunk up with the salt. I found it actually works great with it.

Salt is salt is salt is salt. Regular softener salt ought to work, but it often is quite coarse and you may have trouble putting in that small hole on the softener.

the idea is to use a coarse salt (kosher, sea, himalayan, etc.) and grind it to the desired size/texture. the grinder allows you to choose a fine, medium or coarse setting.

I am not a health expert but according to the iodine protocols Celtic sea salt is approved for salt loading. I have found that taking it until you can taste it is a good barometer. Good luck.

Not sure, but we use very coarse sea salt crystals and have never had a problem.

It is not a fine sea salt but I always use as is! I believe the company recommends drying it out before using it in a grinder if you want it finer. The info on that process is on their website I believe.

Sea salt that is hand harvested and sundried without any additives has a natural balance of minerals and trace elements. It's the best you can obtain as it is packed with minerals and vitamins. In my research, I found that the best sea salt (lush with minerals) appears light gray or light brown and is kept moist. This is Celtic Sea Salt. I am unable to find the list of minerals in it, however you may try to contact the company through it's website, CelticSeaSaltBrand@SelinaNaturally.com . Perhaps they will be able to provide a breakdown. A book I would highly recommend is: Water for Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! by F. Batmanghelidj He is a well-known for his studies of water and sea salt, and he is an MD. He is affectionately known as Dr. Batman since he is from India and most people in the US have a difficult time pronouncing his name. He goes into detail of the makeup of sea salt and how important it is (along with water) to keep good health. If you are using sea salt, I'd say it is a must to gain a deeper understanding of why and how to use it in your diet daily, and more specifically the right amount for you depending on your weight and daily intake of water, etc. Okay, I hope I've helped somehow.

I had a salt water tank and used the sea salt from it. However, don't use too much or it will shut down the machine and it will not work on regular table salt.

This one can be poured straight into into the salt shaker. They also have coarse salt that probably does need to be ground: One 16-Ounce Real Salt Sea Salt Coarse - Grinder

It's very close to commercial table salt in coarseness. Tastes much better ;-)

If you want very fine salt, you should probably buy a grinder. The grains aren't huge -- not as large as some Celtic sea salt grains that I've seen -- but the salt definitely does not have the powdery quality of table salt. There is also a bit of moisture in the bag, so the grains occasionally form small clumps. This is my favorite salt, BTW! I don't have plans on using any other salt in the near future!

It was not as course as I had thought it would be, being sea salt. It has the feel of Morton's table salt. I like to use it for cooking and save my more expensive course grind for finishing or topping my breads and bagels. The flavor is pretty neutral and normal salt flavor, not wet like sea salt either. It is great because it works well in salt shakers, but is easy to grab a "pinch" when cooking. It does tend to clump when humid, but so far has not got hard as a rock either.

It is unprocessed and is a very fine salt, it takes very little to do you, so go easy when salting things I am very pleased with it.

I found it easy to refill. It doesn't seem to really like the Celtic Sea Salt I put in there particularly well - because of the moisture content I think. The salt that came in it ground beautifully.
