Some are highly refined and pretty close to neutral in flavor, while other unrefined varieties carry a clean yet distinctive taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Fine Sea Salt\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fine sea salt has been crushed to a sandy texture which means it\u2019s ready to sprinkle over any dish and will dissolve easily during cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Coarse Sea Salt\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coarse sea salt works great as a seafood, poultry, or meat rub; when cooked with a bit of fat \u2013 like olive oil or butter \u2013\u00a0 in the oven, the results are as delicious as you may be imagining!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Recipe Inspiration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A simple marinade gives this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-us\/recipes\/salmon-fish-pies\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salmon fish pie<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> maximum flavor!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Salt Types\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/Sea-Salt-2.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Delicate Flakes\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Delicate flakes add texture and extra flavor, but should only be used where they can be fully appreciated\u2014think a few generous flecks over a finished steak, rather than salting your pasta water. Simply sprinkle flakes on a dish right before serving\u00a0 &#8211; the texture makes all the difference for steamed or grilled vegetables, a thick cut of meat, or eggs.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Table Salt<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When it comes to seasoning water before cooking vegetables, rice or pasta in the pot or stirring into soups, this salt is the ideal choice because it dissolves quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Recipe Inspiration: Season this light <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-us\/recipes\/chicken-puy-lentil-soup\/\">Chicken Puy Lentil Soup<\/a> to your liking with ginger and curry spices.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/h3>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Kosher Salt<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Firstly, this salt gets its name from its uncanny ability to draw the moisture out of meat before cooking.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Kosher salt enhances the flavor of foods instead of simply making them taste salty, which is why a lot of cooks prefer it over table salt. This may seem counterintuitive but wider grains offer a more subtle flavor than their finer counterparts. Its coarse, uniform, easy-to-pinch granules are also easy to control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Another benefit is that Kosher salt doesn\u2019t have iodine, which offers a bitter taste.<\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section--teal\">\n        \n    <div class=\"image-with-text container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Himalayan Pink Salt<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often mined in the Punjab region of Pakistan near the Himalayas, Himalayan pink salt falls into the tiny percentage of rock salt that\u2019s actually used in cooking. Himalayan pink salt is loved for its rosy glow and its subtly sweet flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often used in block or slab form as a cooking surface, but also available in the more traditional coarse salt or fine grained variety, this sparkling sodium can be used for all your salting needs, from seasoning or finishing.

These crunchy crystals have an intensely earthy yet smoky aroma which adds some serious flavor, but needs to be used sparingly. In fact, it is often used for plating and appearance rather than as a part of a recipe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Himalayan Black Salt: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next there\u2019s the flavor bomb that is kala namak or Himalayan black salt. This addictive South Asian rock salt is known for its salty, sour, and tangy all-at-once taste. It has a sulfurous aroma and savory edge, and is often used to add an eggy flavor to dishes. Black salt is common in Asian \u2014 particularly\u00a0 Indian \u2014\u00a0 cuisines. This flavor enhancer is a key ingredient in chaat masala \u2014 a spice blend that is sprinkled on savory snacks and finished dishes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>Recipe Inspiration:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pair fragrant Tilda Pure Basmati with a flavorful curry such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-us\/recipes\/vegetable-rogan-josh\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vegetable Rogan Josh<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The berry is picked just before it is fully ripe, then dried until it shrivels and the skin turns black or dark brown, producing what we know as black peppercorns.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Where does Black Pepper Originate?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Native to Southern India, today black pepper is grown throughout the tropics. As the world\u2019s most popular spice, it is grown and harvested throughout the world\u2019s major spice regions, from Indonesia to Ecuador and Brazil. And, just as with grapes used in wine making or salt, the soil and growing conditions have an impact on flavor profile.<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Black pepper\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/Black-pepper-1.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>How to use Black Pepper<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unlike salt, black peppers\u2019 bitter bite and strong aroma don\u2019t enhance the flavor of a dish. Just as the colors generally suggest, black pepper can be thought of as the yin to salt\u2019s yang. In fact, the two seasonings have opposite effects: while salt is used to coax out pre-existing flavor from foods, black pepper often changes or overshadows them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black peppercorns have the strongest flavor of the peppercorn family \u2013 just a freshly-ground-pinch will add a bit of background heat, as well as some deliciously earthy zing to your food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Black pepper is available whole, cracked, and either coarsely or finely ground. But, whenever possible, invest in a pepper mill and use whole peppercorns \u2013 you\u2019ll be rewarded with more vibrant and powerful flavors than if you use pre-ground. With a flick of the wrist a good grinder can crush black peppercorns to a fine or coarse texture (depending on your recipe or personal preference).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section--teal\">\n        \n    <div class=\"image-with-text container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__content\">\n                <h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>What\u2019s the Difference Between Black and White Pepper?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main difference between white and black pepper is how they\u2019re picked and processed, which in turn affects the flavor and potency. White pepper is picked from the same pepper plant; however, the berries for white pepper are picked at full ripeness. They\u2019re then soaked in water to ferment, before the outer layer is removed leaving only the inner seed. Because the skin is removed, some of the flavor is taken, which is why white pepper is milder than black pepper.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n            <\/div>\n        \n                            \n                    <div class=\"image-with-text__image\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Pepper,Seeds,Or,Pepper,Corns,Collection,Isolated,On,White,Background\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tilda.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/05\/bp-2.jpg\" width=\"\" height=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"content-section content-section--top-mask content-section-- u-contrast-text--\">\n    <div class=\"free-content container container--small\">\n                    <div class=\"free-content__content user-content\">\n                <h3><strong>When Should Salt and Pepper be Added During the Cooking Process?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><b>Starches:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In order to get all the flavor yet none of the sodium, make sure to add a pinch of salt when boiling rice and pasta.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Meat:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always add a salt rub (with or without other herbs and spices) before cooking meat; salted raw meat will absorb maximum flavor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Cooking Tip:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For meat and chicken, a salt brine may work but avoid it for pork as it might get spongy if brined.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Vegetables: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want crunchy grains sprinkled on top of your mouth watering sauteed vegetables, so unless you want a soggy texture, add salt and pepper right before serving. Of course, as salt extracts moisture, there are times \u2013 like while preparing tomatoes or mushrooms \u2013 that you may want to add a pinch at the beginning of the process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Beans: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you opt for dry goods, rather than canned beans, you may be accustomed to soaking legumes in salt water overnight. Adding salt can be done during this soaking process or before serving, but adding salt while cooking is thought to make beans tough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Soup:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> As salt dissolves evenly in liquids like water and broth, it can be added at any stage.
