Sea salt

Pantry

Sea salt is often regarded as a superior salt when compared with other varieties like table salt. It's coarser, less refined, and pricier than some of the others. Sea salt is a chef favorite and a staple ingredient in many kitchens across the world, both in restaurants and at home. Like other salts, sea salt is primarily sodium chloride. While most salts are harvested from salt mines, sea salt comes from evaporated salt water. Sea salt is produced by flooding shallow, man-made pools with sea water where it’s then left to evaporate under the sun. The result is the salt crystals that make up sea salt. Sea salt is often thought of as a healthier alternative to other salts since it is less processed and still retains some trace natural minerals like calcium, iron, and potassium. However, there are minimal differences between sea salt and table salt. Although table salt is more refined than sea salt, the quantity of minerals that sea salt retains are so small that the nutritional value of the two is virtually the same. The biggest difference between sea salt and table salt is the size of their grains. Table salt has much finer granules, whereas sea salt has larger granules. Because of this, one teaspoon of table salt technically contains more sodium than one teaspoon of sea salt, but this is only due to the size of the granules, not its nutritional makeup. When using sea salt for cooking, it's best used as a finishing salt sprinkled over a cooked meal like a high-quality steak or some roasted vegetables. Sea salt is also a great addition to mildly flavored foods and chocolatey desserts. Just be sure to use a fine salt when you need precise measurements for baking or you may not end up with the result you we’re hoping for.
