Himalayan Sea Salt: Smoked Sea Salt

Smoked Sea Salt

Smoked salt is an aromatic edible salt product with smoke flavoring. It is a seasoning and is used as a shortcut to add smoked flavor to foods. Smoked salt consists mainly of sea saltand smoke volatiles condensed on the salt. An ingredient typically listed on smoked salt is sawdust.Smoked salt lends a strong smoke flavor and aroma to meats and vegetables, and is suitable for vegetarians. "Smoked salt" differs from "smoke flavored salt" in that the latter contains a smoke flavored additive and is therefore not classified as a pure salt product. Smoked salt is typically made from evaporated "sea salt" as opposed to "mined salt". Both types of salt are sodium chloride (NaCl), but mined salt often has a more pronounced "salty" taste due to the iodine added for health reasons; therefore mined salt is typically not suitable for use in the manufacture of smoked salt
