What makes Pure Baja Sea Salt different from table salt?
Pure Baja is unrefined. It is hand-harvested from Pacific seawater and dried by the sun, so the crystal keeps its full spectrum of trace minerals. Conventional table salt is industrially refined — stripped down and treated with anti-caking agents.
Which grind should I choose?
Which grind should I choose?
Natural Grain is for finishing — tomatoes, steak, roasted vegetables, chocolate chip cookies — anywhere you want the crunch. Fine Ground is for cooking and baking: pasta water, doughs, brines, and the everyday shaker.
