So, while introducing the differences between sea salt and refined salt, I will tell you the points when buying salt online.

What is the difference between sea salt and refined salt?

Salt includes lake salt that can be obtained from lakes and rock salt that can be obtained from mountains, but sea salt is obtained from seawater. Refined salt is made by electrolyzing the collected salt.

 

The main difference between sea salt and refined salt is the ingredients they contain. Purified salt is electrolyzed to remove impurities and minerals (magnesium, potassium, calcium, etc.).

 

However, the concentration of sodium chloride will increase accordingly, so if you want saltiness, refined salt may be suitable.

If you want to focus on minerals, choose sea salt made by drying seawater in the sun or cooking it in a kettle. However, the content of minerals varies depending on the production area, so it is necessary to check when purchasing.

When buying salt online, try to match it to your intended use!

I explained that refined salt is salty, but it does not necessarily mean that "natural salt = mild". In addition to the amount of nigari contained, the size and shape also affect the taste.

​

Try using salt with large grains and a mellow taste for raw fish or chicken. Salt with small grains and a strong taste is suitable for tonkatsu and tempura.

 

Also, when salting meat, fish, and vegetables with a lot of moisture as a seasoning, it is good to choose a smooth and fine salt.

In this way, when purchasing salt, it is recommended that you pay attention not only to the price, such as high-end or cheap, but also to the size and shape.

When you buy salt online, why not choose salt that uses Ishigaki seawater? Reaching out a little to nature as it is. We make salt by valuing keeping pace with nature as much as possible.
