Have you ever wondered which salt is the healthiest? Why are there so many types of salt … kosher, sea, table salt ... and how to pick the perfect one to prepare the most delicious meal ever?
Salt is a staple ingredient in many culinary dishes, but did you know that there are different types of salt that can be used to enhance the flavour of your food? From traditional table salt to gourmet varieties, each type of salt has its own unique properties and uses.
Table salt
Table salt, also known as iodized salt, is the most common form of salt used in households. It is made by evaporating seawater or mined from salt mines and is then refined to remove impurities. It is also fortified with iodine, which is an essential nutrient for thyroid health. Table salt has a fine texture and is great for seasoning dishes, but it can be too salty for some recipes.
Kosher salt
Kosher salt is a coarse-grained salt that is used in Jewish cuisine. It is made from evaporated seawater and is free from additives. The large crystals of kosher salt make it easy to pinch and measure, which makes it a great option for seasoning meats. It is also less salty than table salt, so it can be used in larger quantities without overpowering a dish.
Sea salt
Sea salt is made by evaporating seawater and is considered a gourmet salt. It is available in fine or coarse grains and has a stronger, more complex flavour than table salt. Sea salt is rich in minerals and is often used in cooking, baking, and finishing dishes. There are many varieties of sea salt available, each with its own unique flavour profile.
“Flower of salt”
Fleur de sel, also known as the “flower of salt,” is a delicate, flaky sea salt that is hand-harvested from the surface of salt ponds. It is considered a gourmet salt, and is often used to finish dishes such as salads, seafood, and chocolate. Its texture and flavour is unique and delicate, and it is considered one of the best salts in the world.
Himalayan salt
Himalayan pink salt is mined from ancient seabeds in the Himalayas, and is known for its unique pink colour. It is rich in minerals and is said to have many health benefits. It can be used in cooking, baking and as a finishing salt. It has a unique flavour that is often described as earthy and mineral rich.
In conclusion, there are many types of salt available, each with its own unique properties and uses. From traditional table salt to gourmet varieties, each type of salt can enhance the flavour of your food in its own way. Experiment with different types of salt to find the perfect one for your next dish. Go to Viva La Gaia salt section, where you will find a variety of options to try.
