poll Redmond's Real Salt - What's your favorite grain size?

[Bob]

For your Redmond's Real Salt, do you prefer fine, kosher, or coarse grain sizes?

[Geezy]

I’m using fine just because I haven’t tried any of the others.
I have found that for steaks I really like Maldon’s flaked sea salt.

Redmond's says that "Fine" is their most popular product. It most closely resembles the table salt that we are all used to. I'm just used to my pink himalayan salt that is coarse and I grind myself, but I am almost out so I am consider the switch to Redmond's.

Shawn Baker uses something that comes in a pouch and he sprinkles it around with his own fingers that looks kinda flaky too. I'll have to look that one up.

Yes that’s what he uses in fact he’s the one that turned me on to it. It’s my go to now for salting my meats when I’m eating.
For just seasoning and cooking I use my Redman’s.
I tried the Himalayan pink salt but it had too many minerals in it that I was always crunching on. It was like eating food with sand in it. Reminds me of camping out in my boyscout days.
The Redman’s will sometimes have that same gritty crunch but not as bad as the pink salt.

I want to try the Maldon's. Right now I use fine Redmond's and I like the large crystals to for licking.

Yes! At first I thought Redmond's was like a beach picnic, but I guess I have gotten used to it because I don't notice the grit as much anymore.

I love chicken salt. Do you guys get it?

I like to use the pink Himalayan salt 

As well as regular salt.  I use it all sparingly due to fluid retention and high blood pressure.

I use a lot of other spices more

I had to look it up. I haven't heard of it before, but I can see it's a seasoning blend. We have comparable seasoning blends over here I am sure.

This is an area that once you start investigating and learning, you might change your mind on salt. Or maybe not. Perhaps you need to keep your salt low.

When I was eating the standard American junk diet, I did have to watch my salt intake. But that is because all our food is laden with mass quantities of sodium. Since going carnivore and ceasing to eat fast food and prepared packaged foods, my sodium intake dropped considerably. Now I salt my eggs and my beef generously. In fact, if I skip salt for a meal, I will sufffer from muscle spasms and nighttime leg cramps.  But I have a kidney condition that makes it difficult to retain and regulate electrolytes.

Be careful of “regular salt”. If it’s anything like what we have here in the States it may had additives in it that are not compatible with your diet such as sugar. 
Bob is correct on his assessment of salt in relation to high blood pressure. Since I have been carnivore I’m off all of my medications one of them being for regulating my blood pressure. In the meantime I liberally salt my food and even put salt in my water on occasion and my blood tests show that my sodium levels are barely staying in the normal range. 
Since there are no longer and carbs in my body retaining fluid in me my kidneys are free to expel any excess sodium I might have.
