Coarse sea salt (optional)

Description

Coarse sea salt (optional) has a distinct, clean salt flavor with subtle mineral notes, and its crystals are larger, irregular, and slightly translucent, which adds texture and visual effect to dishes. Nutritionally, it mainly provides sodium, but compared to table salt, it also contains trace amounts of minerals such as magnesium and calcium; it should be used in moderation, as excess sodium can be harmful, although when used sparingly, it enhances flavor and may help reduce the addition of refined salt. In the kitchen, it is great for finishing, marinades, curing, baking bread, and grilling and roasting vegetables, where the crystals dissolve slowly. Store in a tightly sealed container, in a dry, cool, and dark place, away from moisture to prevent clumping; optional use allows for controlling the intensity of the saltiness of dishes.
