Himalayan salt is one of the trendy products that, for some time now, many people choose to season their dishes. However, those who only use this salt make a “big mistake,” according to naturopath and dietitian Juan Torrontegui.
“If you are using Himalayan salt, you have a problem and you don’t know it,” he said in a recently published video. on his TikTok channel.
The expert said that, while eating with a group of friends, one of the people said that she only used Himalayan salt, “as if it were the best option there was.”
Torrontegui then assured him that he had “a problem,” because “Himalayan salt is taken from mountains or mines and has a series of minerals,” but it also lacks others. “For example, it does not have iodine, which sea salt does have,” says the naturopath and dietician.
However, if you choose to buy this other salt, Torrontegui does not recommend buying the sea salt sold in the supermarket, “because it is usually refined and they add iodine that is not organic.”
Instead, the expert recommends using, in addition to Himalayan salt, Atlantic salt or gray salt: “That way, you will have Himalayan salt with a series of minerals, and Atlantic salt, with other types of minerals.” .
A third type of salt that Torrontegui also recommends is black salt, which “usually has a lot of iron.”
As he indicates, “this is like vegetables, you cannot be eating ‘the best vegetable’, or the one that you think is the best because it has these properties.”
The same goes for salt, he clarifies. “The ideal is to combine several salts and not just stick to Himalayan salt, no matter how famous it is, or because everyone is using it, it is not correct to use only Himalayan salt,” she concludes.
