There are ingredients of the Mediterranean diet that can never be missing in the preparation of certain recipes, such as coarse salt: although the consumption of the latter should be moderate, in reality, the absence of salt from one's diet would have equally similar effects dangerous to health. Used to prepare any type of first course, such as for rice and pasta, as well as to season first and second courses based on meat and fish, as well as vegetables, coarse salt is especially ideal for cooking pasta in water, as well as when the famous salt crust for many specialties is made.
Use in cooking
There are preparations where it is necessary to particularly favor coarse salt rather than fine salt, for example, to salt pasta water, prepare fish in a salt crust and other recipes.
Preservation
To store salt, you need to choose a perfectly airtight jar, also adding some grains of rice, to be stored in a cool, moisture-free place.
Curiosity
In a balanced and healthy diet, one should in principle prefer the intake of sea salt rather than rock salt.
