What it is
This is a finely ground sea salt product designed for seasoning. It comes in a small, convenient packet, making it easy to add a touch of salt to dishes. The salt is sourced from evaporated seawater, and its texture is generally finer than coarse sea salt crystals. This type of salt dissolves readily, allowing for even distribution of flavor across food.
