1. Himalaya Pink Salt

Appreciated for its pure flavor, exquisite color and beneficial minerals, the pink salt of the Himalayas is the most popular mineral salt on the market. The pink salt of the legitimate Himalayas is a natural phenomenon that exists in the depths of the Mountains of the Himalayas of Pakistan due to the ancient marine beds that crystallized a long time ago, before modern pollutants existed. For this reason, Himalaya salt is considered one of the purest salts on earth. Natural trace minerals result in their magnificent color range, ranging from different tones of pink to dark red.

Himalaya pink salt can be customized in different sizes for multiple applications. From fine grain for agitators to thick grain grinders or even salt therapy blocks, the pink salt of the Himalayas is incredibly useful and versatile. It is a popular substitute for table salt with a subtle flavor that combines well with any dish, from vegetables and meats to desserts or as a cocktail cup edge. Himalaya pink salt is also suitable for the bathroom and spa for a warm bath or as an exfoliate.

2. Sea Salt

sea salt

Sea salt is a general term for all the salt unrefined directly from a living sea or ocean. It is harvested through the same natural evaporation process as the salt of the ocean. The sea salt is generally not refined, so it contains natural traces of other minerals, according to the source. For this reason, marine salt is considered healthier and tastier than traditional table salt. Some of the most common sources of sea salt include the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

3. Grain Salt

Grain salt

Of the many varieties of salt grain sizes, the most common types found in groceries are fine and thick. Unlike thick grains, which require a grinder, fine grains have the standard size of table salt, ready for daily use in the kitchen in cocktails, condiments, or baked.

4. Kosher Salt

kosher salt

The term Kosher can refer to two types of salt. One is a specific scale that is called this because of its use in the preparation of meat demanded by the US dietary guidelines. It contains less additives and has a cleaner and more consistent flavor than normal table salt. The flakes dissolve easily and have a less spicy flavor than processed table salt. The Kosher salt can also refer to a very light scale with a pyramid -shaped grain. It is important to keep in mind that not all Kosher salt is necessarily sea salt.

5. Flake Salt

Flake salt

The sea salt in scales is a large and light crystal that reminds the snowflakes. To create authentic salt in scales, seawater evaporates using the natural processes of the sun and wind, producing brine that is introduced into an open evaporation tray. Then, the brine is heated slowly until delicate pyramid salt crystals are formed. The final product is light and spongy marine salt. The salts in flakes can come in a variety of sizes, from large pyramid -shaped flakes to fine flakes such as paper.

6. Gray Salt

Gray salt

Gray salt, it is a wet sea salt, without refine, it comes from the Brittany region of the French Atlantic coast. Its natural light gray color is the result of the minerals absorbed by the clay lining of the salt ponds from which it is extracted. The salt is handled by hand with wood tools and with methods that date back to the Iron Age.

Gray salt has gained great reputation in the traditional culinary world in recent years for its distinctive flavor and color. It is available in a coarse grain, for finishing or pinched, fine stone grain for use in agitators and extra fine velvet grain, perfect for sprinkling nuts or popcorns.

7. Black Salt

Black salt 

Black salt is an unrefined mineral salt. Actually, it is pearly, pink, gray instead of black, and has a strong and sulfuric flavor and aroma. Vegan chefs have popularized this salt to add egg flavor to dishes such as the tofu scrambled.

8. Table Salt

table salt

Table salt is the most common type of salt in the kitchen. It is not sea or ocean salt, but rock salt, which is normally found in salt mines. Once extracted, it refines and most minerals are eliminated until it becomes pure sodium chloride. The elimination of natural trace minerals creates a softer and more bitter salt than unprocessed varieties, in addition to losing the possible benefits of trace minerals that the human body needs.

9. Smoked Salt

smoked salt

Smoked sea salt is an exciting gourmet salt option. They add a unique wood flavor to a wide range of dishes and are delicious with grilled or roast in the oven. When considering smoked marine salt, make sure it is a natural salt without additives as a liquid smoke flavor, since this can create a bitter taste. Smoked salts over low -American wooden boards infuse salt crystals with 100 % natural cold smoke and establish the smoked salt standard.

10. Coarse Salt

Coarse salt

Thick salt refers to larger standard salt crystals. Most coarse salt is better used in a grinder, which makes it easier to serve newly ground sea salt with a meal. Coarse salt tends to be less sensitive to moisture than its finest grain counterparts, so it resists lump formation, ideal for long -term storage. Keep gross salt during a meal to finish any plate just before serving, or wear this salt to create a salt scab in the meat or fish, in brine to get or to add a tasty flavor to soups, stews and pasta.
