Specialty Salts

That blue box of Morton salt in your cupboard may be getting some company.  Specialty salts are all the buzz.

Kosher salt is the most commonly known, additive-free and coarse-grained with a flaky texture that melts more easily and is less dense than table salt. 

Hawaiian salt has a natural red clay mineral rich in iron oxide to give the salt added beneficial trace elements.  The iron oxide gives Hawaiian salt its distinctive pink color. 

Smoked salt has been smoked with specialty woods such as alder.  Lower grade salts just have artificially smoked flavoring added.  Use on meats, fish, or vegetables. 

Experiment with different specialty salts.  They'll add interest to your meals and provide a great conversation starter at your next dinner party. 

 

All my best,
