Sól kamienna
Description
Rock salt is a natural, crystalline salt with a distinct salty flavor and various shades of white, sometimes with hints of gray or pink depending on mineral impurities; its structure can be fine or coarse, which affects the way it is dosed and the mouthfeel. Nutritionally, rock salt mainly provides sodium and chloride ions essential for maintaining water-electrolyte balance, nerve conduction, and muscle contractions, but excessive consumption is associated with the risk of hypertension, so it is advisable to use it in moderation. In the kitchen, rock salt is a versatile addition — it is suitable for seasoning dishes during cooking and as salt for baking, curing, pickling, and finishing dishes in a coarse form. It should be stored in a dry, airtight container away from moisture and direct light, at a constant cool temperature, to prevent clumping and maintain the purity and aroma of dishes.
