fine salt

Tiny seasoning crystals

Fine salt is salt with small, uniform grains that dissolve quickly and distribute evenly.

It's the standard for baking and cooking where precise seasoning matters: The recipe calls for fine salt, not kosher.

Table salt is typically fine salt, often with added iodine.

Coarse salt has larger crystals better suited for finishing or brining.
