What it is

Sea salt is salt produced by the evaporation of ocean water. It is less processed than table salt and retains trace minerals and elements like potassium, iron, and zinc, which can give it a different flavor and color.

Why it's used

Sea salt is used as a flavor enhancer and seasoning in a wide variety of foods. Its distinct taste and texture make it popular in products like pizzas, salad dressings, and cured meats, where it adds a savory depth.

Health notes

Sea salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other salts, it is a source of sodium, and high sodium intake is linked to increased blood pressure. The World Health Organization (WHO) 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.
