Coarse sea salt

Description

Coarse sea salt is characterized by large, irregular crystals ranging from snow-white to slightly gray, with a distinct, clean saltiness and subtle mineral notes. Its texture is crunchy, providing a pleasant, pronounced flavor burst when used as a finishing salt. Nutritionally, sea salt does not provide calories or macronutrients, but it contains natural trace elements such as magnesium and calcium; it is a source of sodium, which regulates water-electrolyte balance, but should be used in moderation due to the impact of excess sodium on blood pressure. In the kitchen, coarse sea salt works well as a curing salt, for rubbing meats before roasting, for baking with a salt crust, and as a finishing salt for salads, grilled vegetables, and fish, where it adds texture and aroma. It should be stored in a tightly sealed, opaque container away from moisture and heat sources to maintain its flow and flavor for a long time.
