What it is

Jacobsen Sea Salt is a brand of sea salt, a natural mineral primarily composed of sodium chloride. It is harvested by evaporating seawater, specifically from the Oregon coast in the United States.

Why it's used

Salt is a fundamental ingredient used to enhance the flavor of a wide variety of foods, including snacks, baked goods, and savory dishes. It also functions as a preservative by reducing water activity, which helps to inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms.

Health notes

Sodium chloride, the main component of salt, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While sodium is essential for proper bodily functions, consuming too much can be a concern for blood pressure in some individuals. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and set an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info
