What is sweet salt? Is it really sweet, like sugar?

Sweet salt is rock salt produced in North America, which makes an excellent table salt for everyday use in the kitchen. Sweet salt is rich in minerals, particularly iron, and contains natural iodine. It is truly one of the purest salts available, which is precisely why it is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Due to its high mineral content, sweet salt has a lovely pinkish colour.

Sweet Salt is unrefined and unprocessed, and contains no additives. Our Sweet Salt is therefore completely natural and ideal for everyday use in home-cooked meals.

Sweet Salt’s significant magnesium content benefits the muscles and aids muscle recovery after a strenuous workout. In addition to muscle recovery, magnesium is also essential for nerve function and energy production.

Iodine is another mineral vital to the human body, but as the body cannot produce it itself, it must be obtained from food. Iodine plays a vital role in the human body by ensuring thyroid function and cognitive performance. Thanks to its positive effects on brain function, it also helps us sleep better.

In addition, Sweet Salt has a high iron content, which is vital for good health. Iron is essential for the production of red blood cells, which in turn carry oxygen throughout the body. 

Sweet salt is excellent for use with fresh vegetables, on sandwiches and in pasta dishes, as it adds freshness and juiciness to food, with a slightly sweet aftertaste.

Where does sweet salt come from?

Sweet salt is mined from deep within the mountains of North America. Our Sweet Salt is carefully mined from an underground deposit in the mountains of central Utah, which is also the source of the salt’s rich mineral content. Long, long ago, the salt deposits were covered by volcanic rock, which is why Sweet Salt has such a lovely colour and pleasant aroma.

The salt mine in Utah is one of North America’s largest sources of salt.

A lovely recipe to try with Sweet Salt: Strawberry Gazpacho

A very tasty and refreshing recipe, ideal for garden parties and barbecues. It’s something completely different from your everyday meals, so it’s well worth a try.

You’ll need (this quantity serves about four people):

• 350 grams of strawberries
• 500 grams of ripe tomatoes
• 1 small green pepper
• A little onion (to taste)
• A piece of bread soaked in water
• Sweet Salt (to taste)
• A dash of vinegar
• 20 ml olive oil

Method:

1. Before washing the strawberries and peppers, cut the peppers in half to remove the seeds.

2. Peel the tomatoes, cut them in half, remove the seeds and chop them into small pieces. Cut off the stalks from the tomatoes as well.

3. Then blend the strawberries, tomatoes, onion, soaked bread, salt and vinegar until smooth. You can add a little water if the gazpacho seems too thick.

4. Now add the oil and mix through once more. If necessary, add a little more salt and vinegar.

5. Pour the gazpacho mixture into glasses and place in the fridge to chill for at least an hour.

Things to bear in mind!

Firstly, only add the oil right at the end, because if you blend it in with the other ingredients at the start, the blender often tends to heat the oil up, which gives the whole gazpacho an unpleasant bitter taste. So add the oil at the end!

Secondly, strawberries are quite acidic on their own, so be careful when adding vinegar. Otherwise, the gazpacho will become very sour and won’t taste very good.

Enjoy! 🙂
