What it is

Sea salt flakes are a type of sea salt harvested by evaporating seawater. They are typically formed into light, hollow flakes that dissolve easily. They are often produced through a process of solar evaporation or boiling.

Why it's used

Sea salt flakes are primarily used to add a salty flavor and a pleasant texture to foods. Their flaky structure provides a satisfying crunch and a burst of saltiness. They are commonly found in seasonings, baked goods, and as a finishing salt on dishes.

Health notes

Sea salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of sodium, which is essential for bodily functions but should be consumed in moderation. Excessive sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated salt (sodium chloride) and its role in diet.

Allergen info

Sea salt is not derived from any of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
