What is a "moist" salt?
I have been looking into buying some gourmet salt, and several of them are described as being "moist salt". What does that mean?
Best Answer
Moist salts are naturally harvested sea salts from which not all the water has been removed. They are noticeably wet, often caking up or forming more of a "slush" than a powder.
Some aficionados only believe that sea salt is "real" and "natural" if it is moist. Me, I have enough humidity in the apartment.
