This is quite a remarkable product! Two different "salts" are provided - one is a "traditional white" colour and the other is a soft green colour.
The white salt looks and tasted like salt. In fact, if served this product, I doubt if anyone could tell the difference. Perhaps the only giveaway - and it's slight - is the size of the grains. Over the traditional salt we use, the grains are a bit smaller - but that's it. Otherwise, this is "salt"!
The green variation is a bit different. It does not look like traditional salt, and the taste is a bit different, but not what you would think - or, not what I thought. There is a definite "salt" taste, but it is combined with a "green" taste. The green taste is somewhat like grass or seaweed, but mild. That extra flavour is there, but it's not overpowering or too heavy. Lightly added to a salad, it adds a bit of extra taste to the various ingredients.
To be very brief, my Mom suffered from high blood pressure. Even back in the '60's, a low sodium diet was recommend. As a result, Mom did not cook with salt, but left it to the rest of us, to salt our food after it was cooked and ready to be eaten. Because of this, I got used to very little salt - most of the time, I simply forget to add salt to my food, as I hadn't need to before. Today, I remain the same. It's mostly just habit - nothing more - but I do recognize only using small amounts of salt, is better for my health.
I believe this could be a great benefit to those of use who use a bit too much salt in our lives. I don't think there is any question, that high blood pressure is a silent killer. In spite of several changes in her life, Mom died at age 47...
The product is great. The only issue is cost. It's not a cheap product - probably because of all the extra work involved in bringing the product to market. But the counter to the higher price, is what is the price of your life? I know that might sound trite, but think about that.
Bottom Line - A wonderful couple of products! You have a traditional salt or a flavoured salt. Both are really terrific! If you have any health concerns, I would think about talking to your health provider about too much salt, and keep this product in mind. If you decide to reduce your salt intake, this might be the product for you!
