Sprinkle this fine sea salt during cooking to build layers of flavor. It is ideal for seasoning raw ingredients before they are cooked, ensuring even distribution. In baking, it helps balance sweetness and can enhance the texture of doughs and batters. A small pinch can also be added to sauces, dressings, and marinades to brighten their taste. For finishing, a light dusting can add a subtle sparkle and a burst of flavor to plated dishes. Its fine texture makes it easy to measure and control the amount used.
