What it is
Sea salt is salt harvested from evaporated seawater. It is typically less processed than table salt and may retain trace minerals like magnesium, potassium, and calcium, which can give it a slightly different flavor and texture. The crystals can vary in size and shape depending on how the salt is harvested.
Why it's used
Sea salt is used primarily to enhance the flavor of foods. Its texture can also add a pleasant crunch. It is commonly found in savory snacks like chips and pretzels, as well as in frozen meals and soups.
Health notes
Sea salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like all salt, it is a source of sodium, and high sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure. The World Health Organization recommends limiting sodium intake. JECFA has evaluated salt and its components.
Allergen info
Sea salt is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
