Meersalz Sea Salt
What it is
Meersalz is a type of salt harvested from evaporated seawater. This salt is often less processed than table salt, retaining some of the trace elements found in the ocean. It typically comes in coarse crystals.
How people cook with it
Sea salt is a fundamental seasoning used in kitchens worldwide. It enhances the natural flavors of food during cooking and at the table.
- Seasoning meats and vegetables
- Finishing baked goods
- Brining and curing
- Salad dressings
Meersalz can be used in almost any cooking application where salt is called for. Its coarser texture makes it ideal for grinding over dishes just before serving, providing a pleasant crunch and a burst of flavor. It can also be incorporated into rubs for meats or added to boiling water for pasta and vegetables. When baking, it can be used both in the dough and as a topping for a sweet and salty contrast.
How it differs from similar foods
This can lead to a more nuanced taste experience compared to the sharp, uniform saltiness of processed salt.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike reach for sea salt to elevate their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store Meersalz in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. This will prevent it from clumping and absorbing odors from the surrounding environment. Keep it away from direct sunlight and humidity.
