Sea salt flakes (for sprinkling)

Description

Sea salt flakes are large, thin crystals with a delicate, slightly moist sheen and a pleasant, clean saltiness with a subtle hint of minerality. The flakes are crunchy, providing a "pop" sensation under the tongue and beautifully present dishes as a finishing touch. Nutritionally, it is primarily sodium chloride with small amounts of magnesium, potassium, and calcium; as a finishing salt, it enhances the aroma of dishes, which can reduce the need for additional salting, but it should be used in moderation due to its sodium content and impact on blood pressure. It pairs perfectly with steaks, salads, roasted vegetables, fish, and caramel or chocolate desserts. Store in an airtight, dry container away from moisture and heat sources to maintain the structure of the flakes.
