Sea Salt, 18 oz
What it is
This is a natural sea salt, harvested from evaporated seawater. The crystals are larger and less uniform than table salt, offering a different texture and a more nuanced taste. It is a fundamental seasoning used across many cuisines.
How people cook with it
Sea salt is a versatile ingredient that enhances the flavor of countless dishes. It can be used during cooking or as a finishing touch.
- Seasoning meats and vegetables
- Finishing baked goods
- Brining and curing
- Making infused salts
In the kitchen, sea salt is indispensable. You can add it to boiling water for pasta or vegetables to imbue them with flavor from the start. It is excellent for seasoning marinades and rubs for grilled or roasted meats. A sprinkle of coarse sea salt just before serving can elevate the taste and texture of everything from salads to desserts. It dissolves more slowly than fine salt, making it ideal for creating a satisfying crunch.
How it differs from similar foods
This gives it a subtle complexity in flavor and a coarser texture. The larger crystals provide a different mouthfeel and can be visually appealing when used as a finishing salt.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike rely on sea salt for its pure flavor and versatility.
How to keep the rest
To maintain its quality, store sea salt in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent clumping and preserve its flavor. Properly stored, it will remain a staple in your pantry for a long time.
