What it is

Coarse sea salt is a type of salt produced by evaporating seawater. It typically has larger, coarser crystals compared to table salt, and often contains trace minerals from the seawater, which can impart subtle flavor differences.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add coarse sea salt primarily for its flavor and texture. It is a common seasoning in a wide variety of foods, including snacks, baked goods, and prepared meals. Its larger crystals also provide a distinct crunch and visual appeal.

Health notes

Sodium chloride, the main component of sea salt, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Sodium is an essential nutrient, but consuming too much can be a health concern, with high intake linked to increased blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and established an acceptable daily intake.
