Organic Sea Salt

Sea salt is salt produced by evaporating seawater. It is harvested from oceans and seas around the world. The process typically involves channeling seawater into shallow ponds where the sun and wind evaporate the water, leaving behind salt crystals.

Sea salt is primarily used to enhance the flavor of foods, providing a salty taste. It can also be used as a preservative and a texturizer in baked goods and processed foods. It is commonly found in snacks, baked goods, processed meats, and condiments.

Sea salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use as a food ingredient. It is chemically similar to table salt, consisting mainly of sodium chloride. While sodium is an essential nutrient, excessive intake is linked to high blood pressure. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends limiting sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated salt and its components, and EFSA has also assessed sodium chloride.
