It is unrefined, unbleached and unprocessed, so it keeps its natural grey colour and moisture. This is a kitchen salt, not a supplement: the coarse grains suit a grinder, a pinch bowl or finishing a dish, and the brand describes it as organic, vegan and non-GMO.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeltic sea salt is milder and less sharp on the tongue than refined table salt because the crystals are larger and dissolve more slowly. It is the one food item on our minerals shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeltic sea salt is made by letting Atlantic seawater evaporate in clay-lined pans, then raking the crystals by hand with a wooden tool. The clay gives the grey colour and the lack of kiln drying leaves the crystals damp, so it does not pour from a shaker and will clog a cheap grinder. Most people keep it in a small bowl and pinch it, or crush it in a pestle and mortar for finer seasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe method is the traditional one from the salt marshes of Brittany, where salt has been raked this way for centuries. Nothing is added and nothing is removed: no anti-caking agent, no bleaching, no iodine. The brand's description lists 82 minerals; we have not verified that count and repeat it as the brand's statement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 125 g this is a small pack, about enough for a few months of finishing salt in one kitchen. Store it in a lidded jar; it will not spoil but it does pick up moisture from the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a Herba Store UK own-label product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it as you would any finishing salt: a pinch over a finished dish, crushed over roasted vegetables, or dissolved in water for a brine. Because it is damp, grind it only in a grinder with a ceramic mechanism, or dry a small amount in a low oven first if you want it to flow. For cooking water and baking, where the salt dissolves anyway, it works exactly like any other sea salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e125 g resealable pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e£5.99 works out at about 4.8p a gram, or roughly 24p per 5 g teaspoon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoarse grain: pinch, crush or grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep it in a lidded jar or the resealed pack.

The grey colour comes from the clay of the salt pans and the trace minerals; the dampness is residual seawater. Hand harvesting means the top layer of crystals is skimmed before it sinks and compacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCooks who want a mineral-rich finishing salt with a mild flavour, and anyone replacing refined table salt with something less processed.

It also suits people who make their own brines, ferments or salt scrubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want a fine, free-flowing salt for a shaker, this is not it; the dampness is the point.

Shilajit is a dark, sticky, concentrated resin that forms over long periods in high-altitude rock.

Resin is the least processed, which is why it looks like black tar and behaves like toffee.

Done gently, that gives the soft block in this pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe block hardens in a cold cupboard and softens in a warm room or in your hand, so if it is too firm to tear, hold the pack for a minute first. A pea-sized piece is about 200 mg, which is where the brand's figure of 100 servings from 20 g comes from. It dissolves fully in warm water in a minute or two with stirring and turns the water a deep brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe brand states that the origin is verified in the Indian Himalayas and that the product is lab tested, with a certificate shown in the product photos.

You roll it onto the skin at pulse points, the wrists, the sides of the neck and the temples, where the warmth of the skin releases the scent.

Ylang-ylang, from the flowers of a tropical tree, is sweet and heady and is the note that gives this blend its perfume-like quality.

Whole powder and extract are not directly comparable by milligrams: 500 mg of a 10:1 extract represents about 5000 mg of dried mushroom, while 500 mg of whole powder is 500 mg of dried mushroom.
