How does the salt content in this product affect a hypertensive diet?

The product contains about 98 g of salt per 100 g, which translates to a very high sodium intake; consuming it in large amounts can raise blood pressure, so people with hypertension should use it sparingly and stay within the recommended daily limit of 5 g of salt.

Is this fine Guérande salt suitable for vegan, keto, or gluten‑free diets?

Yes, the salt is derived from seawater, contains no animal ingredients, added sugars, or gluten, making it compatible with vegan, ketogenic and gluten‑free dietary patterns, although it adds no macronutrients beyond sodium.

What is the best way to store this salt after opening to preserve its flavor and mineral content?

Keep the salt in an airtight container away from moisture, heat and direct sunlight; the original plastic box works if sealed tightly, or it can be transferred to a dry glass jar with a tight‑fitting lid.
