Frequently Asked Questions:
What is sea salt?
Sea salt is a seasoning that is produced by the evaporation of seawater. Like table salt or refined salt, sea salt is used as a seasoning for cooking, for finishing, for cosmetics and for preserving food. Also referred to as “bay salt” and “solar salt,” sea salt typically has a coarser texture and more trace minerals that help bring out the best flavors in your dishes.
What is so special about sea salt?
Pure sea salt is procured from a natural evaporation process from oceans, bays, lakes and even rivers. This process allows sea salt to retain all the beneficial trace minerals, so that you can enjoy the pure and natural goodness of an essential seasoning.
What is the difference between sea salt and salt?
The main differences between sea salt and salt, or refined table salt, are in their taste, texture and processing methods. Table salt is the granulated white salt found in most salt shakers alongside the pepper. This salt is mined from deposits in the earth, like most other minerals. It is processed to remove extraneous minerals. Table salt is commonly fortified with iodine. Sea salt is a general term for salt produced by the natural evaporation from a body of water like an ocean or lake. It is less processed than table salt and so retains key trace minerals. These minerals add flavor and color to the salt. It is typically coarser but is offered in fine varieties too.
How do I use sea salt?
In its simplest form, sea salt can be used to finish dishes as an everyday seasoning—like refined table salt. It can also be used in recipes as an ingredient in nearly all savory foods. Sea salt is perfect for meat rubs and marinades, as it helps to tenderize proteins. This makes it great for braising, grilling an sautèing. Its coarse texture makes it perfect for creating crusts on meats and seafood.When it comes to desserts and baking, sea salt pairs well with rich caramels and chocolate flavors. Try it as a finishing sprinkle on cookies, cakes and brownies. Salt can be used to preserve vegetables, fish and more—this extends shelf life and adds flavor.
