Salt

As the spice saga continues. Today we will talk about another most famous spice that is in our daily day use which is salt.

The main sources of the salt are either the Rock Salt or the Sea Water Salt.

Salt is not only use to add an extra taste and flavour but also to preserve the food, which means it is added to nearly every single thing you have in your kitchen.
We have so many different type of salts available, such as:

• Table salt

• Sea salt

• Kosher salt (salt with larger crystals and no extra additives)

• Fleur de sel, grey salt - this type is picked from the top of saltwater ponds on the Brittany coast; the grey one then is from the bottom of that saltwater pond

• Pink salt, Himalayan salt - similar to table salt, different origin, pink colours gets from traces amount of iron oxide

• Himalayan Black Salt - that lovely black and red hue colour of the slat comes from the mineral greigite

• Different types of Infused salts.
