Faeries Finest Murray River Flake Sea Salt, Pink, 3.80 Ounce
If you haven't guessed it by now, faerie loves pink. Imagine her excitement when she heard there were pink sea salts. Her first thought seeing the delicate crystals of Murray river pink salt was that it looked like pale pink snowflakes. The Murray River is the largest river in Australia. It empties into the Murray Darling Basin where low rainfall leads to a high concentration of salinity. This high saline water is fed into ponds where the arid climate of northwest Victoria causes rapid evaporation. The pale pink color comes from carotene secreted by salt tolerant algae. The light, flaky pyramid shaped crystals of Murray river pink salt make an excellent finishing salt. The delicate flakes melt quickly and evenly and 'sticks' to the food. It has a light flavor and is perfect for salads. Variations in mineral content and harvesting methods create the unique look and taste of individual sea salts. Differences in flavor are subtle yet delicious. To get the most out of sea salts, add them after cooking and do not use sea salts on highly seasoned foods.
