    Geez, delerium, I am not trying to be disrespectful at all, but this -- and many other basic things -- is covered in Alissa's book.

    Also, if you just search on the internet, you will find out what Bragg's Amino Acids is ... and you can decide for youself if you wish to use this rather controversial product.

    Finally, there have been numerous posts in the past here on this forum discussing the use of Braggs vs. the use of Nama Shoyu. (Dare I mention that Search function at the top of this page?)

    I really do wish to be helpful to those who are new to raw, but, sometimes, if a person does a little basic searching to help herself, it is much more empowering.

    Wishing you the best in your search ... :)

    i thought when braggs was mentioned in a recipe it was the raw organic apple cider vinegar... i've heard of the liquid aminos, but i guess i get confused when people just write braggs as an ingredient in a recipe.

    When you see just "Braggs" listed it means the Amino Acids. YOu can use Celtic Sea Salt or nama shoyu instead.

    Personally I only use Celtic Sea Salt.

    Celtic Sea Salt™ is light grey in color. It is one of only a handful of salts that are hand-harvested from fresh ocean water by a time-honored Celtic method. It is full of essential minerals and trace elements ready to restore the quality of your health.

    Why choose Celtic Sea Salt™?


    It's a whole food, presented as it is in nature
    It contains a variety of balanced nutrients
    It's harvested by hand using a centuries' old Celtic tradition of evaporation to leave its minerals in tact but supported by modern quality control standards
    It tastes better than conventional table salt
    You can use more without any health worries or without losing flavor
    You will get essential nutrients that support your body better
    Gourmet chefs use this salt for its fine quality and incomparable taste
    In 1991, The French Ministry of Forests and Agriculture gave its most honorable "Superior Quality Food" mention to Celtic Sea Salt™
    How the harvesting method makes a real difference

    Gathered and harvested near the coast of Northwestern France where the ocean water is rich in a variety of minerals makes Celtic Sea Salt™ superior to other salts. The salt is channeled into clay ponds where the sun and wind evaporate the water leaving a rich mineral brine. A salt farmer uses wooden tools to speed its drying and helps the salt crystals form before packaging takes place.

    By contrast the everyday table salt we usually see and use is washed and boiled. It is then mixed with iodine, bleaching agents, and anti-caking agents to create a purely white, free-flowing product. Even many sea salts you see in health food stores have been boiled and washed, which ends up removing minerals and trace elements. Celtic Sea Salt IS different


    Each and every year, this salt is analyzed by an independent research laboratory to assure its valuable nutrtional content. Those test results demonstrate that Celtic Sea Salt™ is lower in sodium and chloride than traditional table salts. In addition, its mineral and trace element content is much higher. Your body will feel the difference.
