Coarsely ground salt

The power of coarse ground salt.

Coarse ground salt is one of nature’s purest seasonings. Unlike refined salt, which undergoes heavy industrial processing that strips away natural minerals and adds excessive sodium, coarse ground salt is minimally processed, preserving its natural composition and authentic flavor.

When freshly ground, it releases its taste gradually, enhancing the original flavors of food rather than overpowering them.

This makes it the preferred choice of chefs and health-conscious cooks alike — a simple, pure ingredient that lets your food shine the way nature intended.

How to Grind Coarse Salt


There are three simple ways to do this at home:

  1. Salt grinder (most practical)

Fill the grinder with coarse salt and adjust the grind size as needed. This is the easiest and most common method in the kitchen.

  1. Mortar and pestle (more traditional)

Place the salt in the mortar and pestle and grind until you reach the desired texture. This gives you more control over the coarseness.

  1. Food processor/blender

Pulse quickly for a few seconds. Be careful not to over-process and turn it into fine salt.

Tip: In a blender, grind in batches.
