Description

Morton's Coarse Kosher Salt is a type of table salt characterized by its large, rough-textured crystals, ideal for seasoning food during cooking or for finishing a recipe. This salt is distinguished by its purity and clean flavor, without additives that could alter the original taste of the ingredients.

The term "kosher" originally refers to Jewish dietary practices, where this type of salt is preferred for drawing blood out of meat. However, in general cooking, coarse kosher salt is widely used due to its texture, which allows for more precise control when salting food by hand.

Origin: Morton's is a well-known brand in the United States that has been producing high-quality salt for over a century. Its coarse kosher salt is one of its most popular products, valued by both professional chefs and home cooks.

Properties: This salt contains no additives or iodine, making it ideal for those seeking a pure and natural flavor. Its coarse grain size allows it to dissolve slowly, providing a uniform flavor and allowing the cook to dose the amount of salt more precisely. It is also excellent for techniques such as curing or for creating crusts on meats and fish.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: in different Spanish-speaking countries, it may be found under names such as "sal gruesa kosher", "sal parrillera", or simply "sal gruesa", although these do not always correspond exactly to the same type of crystal or purity as the Morton's brand.
