Like the Coarse Food Salt 1000g: an essential ingredient in the Mediterranean diet, which has always flavored the best foods on our tables. Conad Food Salt, packaged without undergoing refining processes, retains all its properties and its natural purity and richness. Salt is in fact a very important element for human life because it is the basis of many fundamental physiological functions. The sodium it contains is, together with potassium, responsible for the balance of fluids in the body and ensures that our body does not become dehydrated.

In the kitchen, in addition to being an excellent flavouring, if used in the middle or at the end of cooking, it improves the quality of food, softens its texture and makes each dish more digestible. Compared to fine salt, coarse salt is less processed and cheaper. If in some recipes their use is interchangeable, in others the specific use of the latter is required. An example is the preservation of foods such as anchovies, capers or sardines in salt. In fact, only coarse salt should be used for this purpose as it penetrates the heart of the food more slowly, dehydrating it constantly and evenly. Another exclusive use of coarse salt is cooking in a salt crust, a very ancient and practical method of cooking, mainly used with meat and fish. In this way, by dissolving very slowly, the salt creates an envelope which retains the vapors inside the food and maintains a constant temperature. As a result, the meat will remain soft and juicy, without having to add fat, leaving the natural flavors and nutritional properties intact, as well as absorbing a pleasant flavour.
