    Yeah, you could use them to substitute, but definitely try to limit the amounts since Bragg's has MSG. Salt should be used minimally, too, but you'll decrease it on your own once you've been raw for a while! :)

    As far as taste goes, there shouldn't be too much of a variance if you use them.

    I believe in "grandfather clauses" which means using up ingredients you have on hand, then replacing them with a cleaner version. : )

    I use Himalayan pink salt since it is a bit cheaper than Celtic sea salt and just as good.

  • ummm.. I don't think that Braggs has MSG..

  • mmm..I just started to look around for some info regarding Braggs and msg--there are some claims that there could be some msg lurking in there--that's why I love this site--I always learn something new..

    Thanks

    Yeah we found out a year or so ago that braggs is not the best form of soy sauce we prefer the eden organic brand of soy sauce its msg free and they have raw shoyu and pasturized tamari (they also have imported tamari which uses rice alchohol rather than corn alcohol its amazing what you learn when you have a kiddo with a corn allergy) We use mostly pink seat salt though since soy is just a special treat in our house. The pink salt is great and like the above poster said it is cheaper than celtic brand. We also know some people who only use seaweeds as their salts like fine ground kelp and dulse and they are really salty plus your getting healthy nutrients.

    Redmond Realsalt is not just a fine "replacement", it is a very good choice! It's my preferred salt.

    From their site (www.realsalt.com):

    "Long before the earth knew pollutants of any kind, a huge, ancient sea covered what is now North America. Pure, natural salt was the main ingredient of this sea, and over millions of years, the water evaporated, leaving the salt in undisturbed deposits. At some point during the earth's Jurassic era, a range of volcanos erupted around the ancient sea bed, sealing the salt with layers of thick volcanic ash, protecting these precious deposits against the pollution that man would eventually introduce into the environment. Near the small town of Redmond, in central Utah, approximately 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, we extract this hand-selected salt from deep within the earth, and bring it to you in its pure, natural state-without any additives, chemicals, or heat processing. This is RealSalt, full of flavor and natural goodness-the way salt was meant to be savored!

  • Yup. I often used Redmonds RealSalt. I also use Celtic and Himalayan.

    I just bought some Redmonds the other day. I love it so far. I find it much tastier than regular salt too. Very good choice IMO, especially with all the trace minerals left in it. And it's cheaper than Celtic Sea Salt.
