Description

Fine salt is a type of salt commonly used in cooking to season and enhance the flavor of various dishes. It is characterized by its small, uniform crystals, which allow for quick and even distribution on food during preparation or just before serving.

Its origin comes from the evaporation of seawater or underground salt deposits, and it undergoes a milling and refining process to obtain its fine texture. Fine salt is a basic ingredient in almost all culinary cultures due to its versatility and effectiveness in intensifying flavors without adding other nuances.

Among its properties, its ability to preserve food and improve the texture of sauces, meats, and vegetables stands out. Furthermore, it is essential for the proper functioning of the human body in small quantities, as it regulates fluid balance and the transmission of nerve impulses.

In different regions of Latin America, fine salt is also known as common salt, table salt, or simply salt. These terms are used interchangeably in recipes to refer to the salt that is commonly used to season dishes.
