How to Use

It’s great in soups and stews; add it to warm and comforting Chicken and Dumplings. Enjoy it in spicy Cucumber Relish. Use it to make the flavor burst in Homemade Marinara and Creamy Polenta. 

Some of our customers like to use this coarse sea salt in a pepper grinder as a fun way to add some freshly ground sea salt to their meals.

Coarse sea salt is typically not a good substitute for any baking recipe that simply asks for sea salt. They usually are looking for a finer salt, and coarse flakes may cause salty bursts in the baked dishes which distracts from the overall flavor of the dish.
