Unrefined Sea Salt
What it is
This is a naturally occurring salt harvested from an ancient, underground sea deposit. Unlike highly processed salts, it retains its natural composition. It is not iodized. This salt is a fundamental seasoning for many dishes.
How people cook with it
It is used to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of foods. People sprinkle it on dishes before, during, or after cooking.
- Seasoning meats and vegetables
- Finishing baked goods
- Adding to brines and marinades
- Flavoring soups and stews
This salt can be used in place of any other salt in your cooking. It dissolves readily when heated, making it suitable for incorporating into sauces, marinades, and doughs. For a direct flavor enhancement, it can be ground or sprinkled over finished dishes. Consider using it in rubs for grilled items or as a finishing salt to add a delicate crunch and taste.
How it differs from similar foods
It is not bleached or treated with anti-caking agents, giving it a more rustic appearance.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the salt in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping. This will help preserve its texture and flavor over time.
