Daily Feature Glossary Terms

A type of sea salt harvested along the coast of Sicily from the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The water from the sea is brought into the ponds and evaporated by the heat of the sun. Once dried, the salt is removed, crushed and processed into packaged sea salts. Lower in sodium content than traditional table salts, the Italian sea salts contain minerals which include: iodine, fluorine, magnesium, and potassium.
