Meat is a four letter word to those eschewing steak due to its sizzling connotations of unhealthiness. Salt is sprinkled into that forbidden camp for consumers en masse.

Not all red meat is created equally.

Similarly, our earth’s savory spice of life abounds in myriad forms.

Exotic game meats - ostrich, elk, kangaroo, caribou and more - are grass fed, lean, and packed with ambrosial and intoxicating flavor.

As health conscious carnivores, we may opt for tasty procurements that our bodies will love. (Devoid of the inflammatory culprits, from feed to finish, commonly associated with beef and pork). A wide gamut of exotic game meats is sold online and shipped (frozen) to your door.

When that gastronomical treasure arrives? The key is to barely sear the luscious loot. Do not overcook your epicurean bounty of sultry steak! With numerous game picks packing less fat than fish, your meal will “dry out” if overcooked.

These choices of meat are ideal for RAW zealots, (like me), who prefer Carpaccio or Steak Tartare to anything so much as even waved by torrid heat. A little drizzled oil, cracked pepper, and sensational SALT will do the trick for seasoning this gourmet gold! An enormous catalyst in changing our physique AND internal health composition, via food enjoyment without bloating and sordid health mayhem, is the bevy of nutritionally sound colored sea salts…

Black, Gray and Red Sea Salts hold trace minerals (calcium, magnesium and potassium) instead of straight sodium. As a result, blood pressure and swelling go down, taste heightens and a pop of color illuminates quite stunningly on our plates! Activated charcoal in the black salts and clay in the red, lend to our systems expelling toxins easier.

Jade Green Bamboo Sea Salt delivers antiinflammatory properties, anti-allergen properties and is rumored to possess cancer preventative elements too, making its coarse rocks a healthful and colorful addition to entertaining.

With a “click” on Amazon, all colored sea salts can arrive in your kitchen; and as a woman who prefers to eat at home and lives by the mantra, “There’s very little in life which a righteous steak dinner cannot fix,” I am grateful that steak, and salt, may be salubriously savored.
