Solar Sea Salt

Solar sea salt is a type of salt produced by evaporating seawater using energy from the sun. This natural process allows the water to slowly evaporate, leaving behind salt crystals and trace minerals. It is typically less processed than common table salt.

Solar sea salt is primarily used as a seasoning and flavor enhancer in a wide variety of foods. It adds a distinct taste and texture to dishes, often found in snacks, baked goods, and prepared meals. Manufacturers also use it for its preservative qualities in some applications.

Solar sea salt, like all salts, is primarily sodium chloride. The FDA considers salt (sodium chloride) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). High intake of sodium can be a concern for some individuals, as it is linked to increased blood pressure. The FDA's Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. JECFA has not set an acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sodium chloride, as it is a fundamental nutrient rather than a food additive.
