You can use sea salt in almost any cooking application. It is excellent for seasoning food during cooking, whether you are roasting vegetables, pan-searing fish, or making a sauce. It can also be sprinkled on finished dishes to add a final burst of flavor and a pleasant textural contrast. For baking, it can be incorporated into doughs or sprinkled on top of cookies and breads before they go into the oven. Its clean taste makes it versatile for both savory and sweet preparations.
How it differs from similar foods
Sea salt often has a coarser grain and a more complex flavor profile compared to refined table salt. The larger crystals can also dissolve more slowly, providing a different sensory experience when eating.

How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the sea salt in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent clumping and preserve its flavor. Proper storage will keep the salt free-flowing.
