What it is
This is a finely ground sea salt sourced from the Atlantic Ocean. It has been fortified with iodine, an essential nutrient.

The addition of iodine makes it a functional seasoning for everyday cooking.

This sea salt can be used in almost any cooking application. It dissolves readily in liquids, making it ideal for brines, marinades, and sauces.

It is also suitable for use in salt shakers for table seasoning. The iodine content contributes to its overall utility in a home kitchen.
