What it is

Sea salt is salt harvested from evaporated seawater. It is less processed than table salt, often retaining trace minerals and a slightly coarser texture. The mineral content can vary depending on the source of the seawater.

Why it's used

Sea salt is used primarily as a flavor enhancer and seasoning in a wide variety of foods. Its texture can also add a slight crunch. It is commonly found in snacks, baked goods, and processed meals.

Health notes

Sea salt is chemically sodium chloride, similar to refined table salt. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers salt (sodium chloride) to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used in food. High sodium intake from all sources is linked to increased blood pressure, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). JECFA and EFSA have evaluated sodium chloride.

Allergen info

Sea salt is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
