Many people are unaware that Kosher sea salts are a thing of beauty. And it's no wonder. They are as smooth and luxurious as any other variety on the market. But not all kosher salt is created equal. And that makes a difference when you're shopping for a fine table salt collection.
It's important to know what the differences between unrefined and refined kosher salt are so you can make an informed decision about buying quality table salt. For it to really be authentic, there needs to be kosher sea salt with healthy chunks of black truffle salt included. If your regular salt does not have black truffle salt (actual truffles) included, it's not an authentic kosher salt. Most companies prefer to use black truffle oil instead.
The most appealing feature about kosher black truffle salt is its unique, earthy flavor. It has a slightly nutty aroma, almost like smoked meat or cured fish. It's very versatile, too, you can use it in a lot of different recipes. You can make black summer truffles, stockfish, salty fish sticks, vegetable dishes, and a whole range of bread and cake recipes.
Another great thing about kosher black truffle sea salt is that it is very good for you. Because it contains a lot of magnesium, potassium, and calcium, it is an excellent source of the nutrients that our bodies need to stay healthy and alert. It's especially good for cardiovascular health. There's some evidence that magnesium helps prevent heart disease.
Like most of the other ingredients in this article, black truffle salt goes through a long purification process. It goes through three different processes in order to become what you are enjoying on your table. First, raw materials are brought to the production facility, including wood shavings from trees that are not cut. They are roasted to make sure that they are evenly roasted with enough salt. After that, they are treated chemically with sodium azide, potash, and chlorine dioxide in order to make sure they are safe to eat.
When it comes to the salt's distinctive savory flavor, most of the flavors come from the salt's elements and minerals. Potassium and magnesium add a rich and creamy texture to the black truffle sea salt, while calcium makes it a great source of the nutrient magnesium. Bromide is a colorless silvery salt that contributes a sharp and fresh taste to sea scallops, oysters, clams, and mussels. These elements are combined in order to provide the signature flavor of truffles.
To add even more flavor to your pasta dishes, simply stir two teaspoons of the black truffle sea salt into the pasta sauce. This will add a flavorful but subtle touch to the dish. This technique works perfectly for egg dishes, such as scrambled eggs, omelets, and risotto. You can also sprinkle it over your baked potatoes or turn up the heat in your oven and bake your vegetables. Your baked potatoes are almost guaranteed to taste amazing when you season them with this salty flavorless gem.
For uses outside of food, black truffle sea salt has many great benefits. Salting your lawn with it is a quick way to keep grass nourished and green. Using it to clean your car will get rid of that awful smell. And if you need a great way to disinfect water, don't hesitate to add some to your regular water supply. The anaerobic bacteria in this salt are very good at killing germs, especially those that live in water.
It's very easy to incorporate this wonderful seasoning into any of your favorite meals. You can make a delicious addition to soups, stews, casseroles, chili, and more. I have actually served black truffle sea salt on crackers to spice things up for a lunchtime snack. For a family night at home, add it to your favorite bread and place them on the griddle before serving.
The greatest thing about black truffles is that they are so versatile. You can serve them plain, with their delicious crisp flavor, or you can sprinkle them with different flavors. If you love cream cheese, try sprinkling some on top of your black truffles before serving. They will melt in your mouth and add an enjoyable dimension to what could otherwise be a bland dish.
My friend tells me that she uses a little too much of the stuff when she makes her own baked truffles, but she only uses half a teaspoon. For the health-conscious crowd, you can always substitute one to two tablespoons of a French vanilla supplement for the black truffle sea salt. Enjoy a bit of this classic French flavor while watching your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. My favorite combination is black truffles and French vanilla ice cream. It's so simple, yet so delicious.
