Black and white salt flakes

If you like to innovate in the kitchen, try these peculiar flake salts.

On the one hand, you have the white one, which looks like the usual one, but you should know that it is 100% pure and has not been chemically treated.

And, on the other, we find the black salt squid ink. It shows this color because it has been mixed with squid ink, which gives it the color but not the flavor, preserving the salty flavor of the salt.

Both have a delicate and precise flavor. Just add a small amount to give your dishes a unique touch.

These salts are valid for both cooked and raw recipes. They look good in any food. For example:

• Grilled scallops with squid ink black salt
• Grilled meats
• Homemade ratatouille with poached egg and squid ink black salt
• Baked fish
• Green salads
• Foie
• Grilled vegetables

Of course, the art is in how the salt is applied to the plate. It should be added just before serving. Here are some tips:

• Break up the flakes with your fingers and sprinkle the resulting granules a little at a time over the food. Do not go overboard with the amount, or it will be very salty. This salt has a lot of flavor.
• If you want, it can be another decorative element of the plate. In this case, add the full salt crystal. It provides a very crunchy texture.

Finally, we will tell you a secret. Flake salt is linked to haute cuisine gourmet dishes. With this, you can brag to friends and family about preparing cuisine on another level. Do you dare?

Take home salt in a tube, or two.
