Newest Obsession-Finishing Salts

I'll be trying some new salts for cooking and finishing, as I have been reading about them. Fleur de sel and Sel gris, both from France. Anybody have any insight or experience with finishing salts?

SWMBO recently bought some Himalayan salt - course for the grinder and fine. They taste salty. And that's my favorite seasoning.

I mainly use it for fermentation(sauerkraut) and finishing. The higher moisture content of it keeps it from sucking moisture out of the food(veggies and fresh fruit). It's great sprinkled on a steak after cooking. The minerals from sea water give it a complexity not found in regular NaCl.

Isn't all salt sea salt?

Pickling salt is pure sodium chloride.
Sea salt is mostly sodium chloride, but with some other minerals.

I guess you could argue that salt that was mined on land was sea salt, because the land was once covered with salt water and then the water receeded.Felton, Ca. 2-LBGE, 1-Small, PBC, PK360, Genesis Summit, Camp Chef Flattop, Smokefire 24, Traeger Pro Series 22 Pellet with a Smoke Daddy insert, Gateway 55 Gal. drum, SNS Kettle w/acc.

There are a ton of salts available. Generally it's all sea salt mixed with the mineral content of the rock where it is harvested. Mined salt is typically just salt.

Adam Perry Lang has a chapter in his book, Charred and Scruffed about finishing salts. He moistens kosher salt with a vinegar, wine, lime or lemon juice. Then add herbs and spices. Make a slush and lay out on parchment paper. 105 degrees in a food dehydrator for 12 hours. It is on my list of things to try.BrandonQuad Cities

Better than a bath salt obsession.

Bath salts have been delivery systems for designer drugs for years. Yur not suppozed to EAT it!

I got some Himalayan Pink Salt last year for Christmas. Haven't used it/forgot I had it till now. Wasn't sure how to use it and didn't want to waste it.
