Sea salt

Sea salt is obtained by evaporating seawater, leaving behind mineral-rich crystals. It retains many natural minerals and trace elements found in the ocean, which can influence its flavor and appearance. Unlike processed table salt, sea salt typically undergoes minimal refining, preserving its natural composition. It is used in cooking and finishing dishes to add flavor and texture. Due to its natural origin, sea salt may contain tiny amounts of other minerals like magnesium or calcium, contributing to its unique taste. It is appreciated for its coarse texture and subtle, complex flavors, making it popular among chefs and food enthusiasts.
