- Preserving foods
Sprinkle this salt directly onto food during cooking or at the table to add flavor. It can be dissolved in liquids for brining or used in dry rubs for meats and poultry. In baking, it helps to balance sweetness and enhance the overall flavor profile of doughs and batters. It is also suitable for making pickles and other preserved goods, where its consistent grain size ensures even distribution.
