Sea Salt that has not been unrefined is pinkish or gray in color, moist and full of important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium, sulfur, iron, zinc, copper etc. It's a natural salt source of twenty one essential minerals and many more lesser elements. This makes Sea Salt much better for you than regular salt. And you need salt to make hydrochloric acid which helps you digest proteins.

It was Linus Pauling, Ph.D. (Two time Nobel Prize Winner) who said: "You can trace every sickness, every disease, and every ailment to a mineral deficiency"
