A Touch of Finishing Salt from Ishka Farms is All You Need to Enhance the Flavour of Your Food
Salt is to food what the soul is to the body.
This quote aptly sums up the worth of salt in a cuisine, no matter which part of the world it comes from!
Now, the regular salt (iodised table salt)is most commonly used salt in the cooking process. However, if you really want to elevate the taste and flavour of your food, finishing salt is the perfect condiment.
What is Finishing Salt?
This is an all-purpose seasoning that doubles up a flavour enhancer. You can use it to deliver a final flourish to the food. Given its unique characteristic of bringing flair to the dish without overpowering the natural taste, this salt is tagged as gourmet salt in global cuisine.
This salt can have flat, flaky or coarse crystals depending on its origin, ingredient mix and preparation method. It is available in various shapes and textures. Hence, this salt doesn’t fall into one-size-fits-all category.
