Sea salt (for topping)

Description

Sea salt for topping is usually coarse, flaky salt with a slightly milky or grayish hue and a distinct, crunchy texture. Its flavor is clean, less sharp than table salt, with subtle marine notes that enhance sweetness and add contrast, making it perfect as a finishing touch for creams, chocolate glazes, caramel, and desserts. Nutritionally, it mainly consists of sodium chloride with small amounts of minerals such as magnesium or potassium; it is less processed than table salt, but should be used sparingly due to its sodium content. Store in an airtight container away from moisture and strong odors, in a dry and cool place, using a dry teaspoon to maintain its structure and freshness.
