What it is
This is a natural sea salt harvested from evaporated seawater. It is a coarse-grained salt, meaning the crystals are larger and more irregular than table salt. It is a fundamental seasoning used across many cuisines. This product comes in a generous 26.5-ounce container, suitable for frequent use in any kitchen.
How people cook with it
Sea salt is a versatile seasoning that enhances the flavor of a wide variety of dishes. It can be used both during cooking and as a finishing touch.
- Seasoning meats before grilling
- Finishing baked goods
- Adding to salad dressings
- Enhancing roasted vegetables
This coarse sea salt is excellent for general seasoning. You can add it to your cooking water for pasta or potatoes to infuse flavor from within. It works well rubbed onto meats before roasting or grilling, creating a flavorful crust. Sprinkle it over vegetables before they go into the oven to help them caramelize. For a final flourish, a pinch of sea salt can elevate the taste of desserts like chocolate chip cookies or caramel. Its larger crystals provide a satisfying texture and a burst of flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike finely ground table salt, sea salt has larger, irregular crystals. This difference in size affects how it dissolves and distributes flavor.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike use sea salt to bring out the natural flavors in their food.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store the remaining sea salt in its original container in a cool, dry place. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can cause clumping. This will keep the salt free-flowing and flavorful for future use.
