Celtic Sea Salt vs. Himalayan Salt:

Celtic sea salt is harvested by evaporating seawater. It is often darker because it contains trace minerals.

While Himalayan salt contains more potassium, Celtic sea salt has less sodium, more calcium and magnesium.
-
Himalayan salt is usually more finely ground, while Celtic sea salt is often kept in larger grains, in order to retain flavour and cut down on moisture release.
