sea salt
Evaporated ocean mineral
Sea salt is salt produced by evaporating seawater, as opposed to mining rock salt deposits.
It retains trace minerals that give it subtle flavor variations and sometimes a coarser texture than table salt.
Marketing often presents sea salt as more natural or healthful, though nutritionally the differences are minimal: The recipe calls for a pinch of sea salt.
