I try really hard not to use too much salt in many of the dishes I eat and make but this sea salt grinder I found at Trader Joe's comes in so handy when you want just a little extra flavor for your food. Much like the cinnamon and sugar grinder (click here to read review), it comes in this neat little built in grinder that finely grinds your salt into perfect flakes.
Sea salt, though many think is more natural and healthier than regular table salt, is really just salt that has a different texture, taste and way of being processed. Sea salt is created by the evaporation process of salt water lakes or ocean water. Minerals as well as various other elements are often left behind in this process, giving sea salt a different taste and coarseness. Table salt is more heavily processed so minerals and elements often do not remain behind and are mined from salt deposits that are underground. Additives are added to the salt to prevent the salt from clumping.
Either way you look at it, salt is a vital ingredient in many foods. Without it even the most amazing dishes could taste bland.
