there are no minerals per se in epsom salt. Epsom salt is a specific chemical compound, Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO4*7H20), and nothing else. The reason why it is used in plants is because it provides Magnesium, which is essential for plants to synthesize chlorophyll, which contains magnesium
