About Meersalz
Meersalz, or sea salt, is derived from evaporated seawater and is commonly used in cooking and seasoning across various cuisines worldwide. Unlike refined table salt, Meersalz often retains trace minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium, which contribute to its distinct taste and potential health benefits. Its coarse texture and natural flavor make it especially popular in Mediterranean dishes, seafood, and artisanal recipes. While Meersalz can add depth to meals, it should be consumed in moderation, as excessive sodium intake can contribute to high blood pressure and other health concerns. Opting for unrefined Meersalz may offer a small boost in essential minerals compared to standard table salt, but its overall nutritional impact is similar. Choosing balanced portion sizes allows you to enjoy its culinary richness without compromising health.
