• Place the pan on the stove top and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes longer or until all of the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork, then cover once more and allow the rice to steam in the pot for 10 more minutes.
• Serve garnished with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired, and enjoy!

Notes​

• 
  
• Pro tip: Use full fat canned coconut milk for a richer, creamier texture.
• 
  
• Brown rice may be substituted for jasmine rice, but cooking times and the amount of liquid used will vary. Be sure to follow package instructions.
• 
  
• Canned light coconut milk may be used to decrease the amount of fat, but it won't yield the same rich and creamy texture.
• 
  
• Coconut rice will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Another overpriced joke masquerading as healthy. I know what miniscule amounts of "trace minerals" are in these falsely advertised snake oils.

The amount of Celtic or Himalayan salt one would have to consume for these "trace minerals" to have any benefit would require a potentially lethal amount of sodium chloride.

Sorry, but you have been dudded by a clever marketing ploy!

The median lethal dose (LD50) for sodium chloride is 210 grams for a 70 kg human. Hope that quantifies things.

I appreciate your feedback on this. Have you or do you know of anyone that has tested Celtic salt and table salt?

I have been studying the "benefits" of such table salt variants for over 30 years. My investigation into alleviating the effects of gout in a young Down Syndrome man led me to "Organic Celtic Salt". Alarm bells rang due to any form of table salt DOES NOT contain any carbon whatsoever. And the clown promoting this falsely hyped "version" of table salt had no idea about the simplest aspects of inorganic and organic chemistry.

Unfortunately, I no longer have access to a mass spectrometer which quantitatively measures the concentration of trace elements in any given sample. I will just have to rely on the findings of other analytical chemists.

A 30 second search found this from the Celtic Ocean International, Inc., website. Here is a typical analysis of their major product, Light Grey Celtic Salt.

Chlorine 53.7%
Sodium 31.2%
Arsenic 0.000010%
Cadmium Not detected
Copper < 0.0025%
Calcium 0.196%
Chromium < 4.0 ppm
Iodine < 0.002%
Lead 0.000041%
Magnesium 0.30%
Mercury Not detected
Potassium 0.108%
Zinc < 0.00130%

At the concentrations given above, no trace elements serve any health enhancing purposes but to act as a marketing tool for the gullible.

No never used it or know of anyone but I can ask A1...is a source info app.
Here is what it said.
Celtic salt, also known as Sel Gris or Gray Salt, is a type of salt harvested by hand from the surface of salt pans in France. It's known for its distinctive gray color and coarser texture compared to regular salt. Celtic salt is prized for its:

1. _Mineral content_: Rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium.
2. _Coarser crystals_: Less processed and more textured than refined salt.
3. _Lower sodium content_: Claimed to have a lower sodium content than table salt.
4. _Flavor profile_: Slightly sweet and nutty flavor.
5. _Production method_: Harvested by hand using traditional methods.

Celtic salt is often used as a finishing salt to add flavor and texture to dishes. It's also used in spa treatments and as a natural remedy for various health issues.

Some potential benefits of Celtic salt include:

1. _Reducing inflammation_
2. _Improving digestion_
3. _Lowering blood pressure_
4. _Promoting hydration_
5. _Supporting immune function_

However, it's essential to note that some of these claims are still being researched, and more studies are needed to confirm the benefits of Celtic salt. As with any salt, consume it in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
