Sea salt is gathered by evaporating salty seawater (as opposed to rock salt, which is mined from underground salt deposits). Undergoing minimum processing, sea salt tastes different from table salt because it eschews common salt additives that prevent caking, and contains the trace minerals of the very waters from which it was obtained.
Mama Sita’s Sea Salt is hand-harvested and unrefined, more flavorful owing to its trace minerals.
