SALT, SEA, GREEK

Description:

Greek Sea Salt is popular because it contains less sodium and iodine but has more trace elements than salt mined from the earth.  Salt mines are simply deposits of salt where sea water once flowed.  Sea Salt is obtained by evaporation by the wind, sun or it may be artificially removed in water evaporation pans.  Salt is an important seasoning and has been used for seasoning food, preserving food and it provides nutrients necessary for the body's fluid balance.  Used as a trading resource, salt has been taxed by governments, offered to the gods and has even been given as part of a salary!  Greek Sea Salt tastes and acts similar to Rock Salt only it has a larger grain.

Suggested Use:

Greek Sea Salt has the same flavor as Rock Salt does only it has a larger size grain.  Substitute for Rock salt and use in any dish requiring salt as a seasoning.
