Plastic litter reaching oceans is being broken down and getting into food.

Sea salt harvested from oceans around the world and a favourite of discerning cooks is contaminated with plastic, scientists have found.
Tiny pieces of the material have been found in sea salt on sale in the UK, Europe, the US and China, the Daily Mail reports.
It confirms that plastic litter reaching oceans is being broken down and getting in to our food.
Previous studies have found that fish such as cod, as well as shellfish and crustaceans including scampi caught off the British coast, contain plastic particles.
Researchers believe the majority of the contamination comes from microfibres and single-use plastics such as bottles.

ShareIf you heard that “real” salt was not white, you probably would not believe it.
That’s because table salt has surrounded us for generations as the most readily available salt.

Nevertheless, replacing refined salt with Himalayan salt can quickly and effectively restore your health.

Traditionally when reaching for a Seasoning to enhance a favourite meal we reach for the Salt (Himalayan of Course!) Salt is a Seasoning beyond question. When it's used well, salt manages to make food taste not salty, but more like it's self. Almost everything we eat has some Sodium in it, and we have receptors on our tongues devoted to the taste. The human need for salt is so innate that it's only natural to adjust our dosage at the table.
But why Pepper? - Pepper sits next to the Salt Grinder at every coffee shop and kitchen counter in the country! And why do so many recipes invite us to season with Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper upon completion?

Himalayan Salt is one of today’s most sought after items in the world of nutrition. This rich crystal salt naturally contains 84 different minerals and trace elements essential to the body for optimum health and vitality. Himalayan Salt contains no chemical additives and is not processed in any way, making it by far the top choice among the various types of salt available on the market.
Traditional Table Salt that is typically found on the supermarket shelf is made up of roughly 97% Sodium Chloride. The other 3% consists of various chemicals designed to prevent caking (clumping together) and improve the flow of salt when poured or shaken. The salt is then bleached and processed under extreme heat which changes the chemical structure of the salt and destroys the essential trace minerals that exist in the salt’s natural state. The human body needs salt because of its rich mineral content, which...
