Aurora Coarse Sea salt is salt produced from the evaporation of seawater, rather than by being extracted from sedimentary deposits. It is used in cooking and cosmetics. It is also called bay salt or solar salt. Aurora Fine Sea Salt is not iodized. It dissolves quickly in boiling and warm water, so it can be used in soups, stews, salad dressings, and other usual dishes. However, it's more interesting to use this on foods, by creating a salt crust just before a dish is ready. It is a staple in kitchens everywhere. Sea salt is often promoted as being healthier than table salt. Aurora Coarse Sea salt is a great ingredient to sprinkle on top of dishes as a way to give recipes added color, flavor, and crunch.
