Saltique French Sea Salt Coarse 1 lb — Hand‑Harvested Unrefined Salt with Moist Flaky Crystals

Saltique French Sea Salt Coarse is a 1 lb bag of hand‑harvested, unrefined sea salt from the French coast, offering natural minerals and a moist, flaky coarse texture for finishing and cooking.

Harvested using traditional methods from coastal marshes in France, this coarse sea salt is left unrefined to preserve trace minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium and iron. The crystals retain a slight natural moisture and a mildly layered, savory flavor that lifts both simple and complex dishes without additives or processing. Because it is a raw product, the texture, moisture level and crystal size can vary from batch to batch—part of what makes it authentic.

How will this salt change the taste and texture of my cooking?

Saltique French Sea Salt Coarse delivers a richer, more nuanced saltiness than standard table salt because it keeps the natural mineral profile intact. The slightly moist, coarse crystals dissolve slowly, providing bursts of flavor and a pleasant mouthfeel when used as a finishing salt.

• Layered, savory finish that enhances roasted vegetables, grilled meats and salads
• Slightly moist crystals that cling to food and dissolve gradually
• Coarse grain ideal for finishing or cooking where texture matters

Is this suitable for grinders or should I use it another way?

Because the salt is hand‑harvested and naturally retains moisture, some grinders may clog or fail to crush the crystals properly. Many users prefer to use it as a finishing salt or to dry the crystals briefly for grinder use.

• Use directly as a finishing salt for visible crystal texture
• To grind, spread on a baking sheet and dry in a low oven until crystals separate
• Alternatively, pulse in a mortar and pestle for coarse-to-fine control

What health or safety information should I be aware of?

Saltique French Sea Salt is 100% natural and contains no additives, but as with many sea salts it contains trace amounts of heavy metals from the marine environment. The product is labeled under California guidelines; a 1/4 teaspoon serving contains approximately 0.8 micrograms of lead, which is below the FDA interim reference level of 8.8 micrograms per day for adults.

• No additives, anti-caking agents, or industrial processing
• Contains naturally occurring trace minerals including small lead amounts
• Serving lead content: ~0.8 micrograms per 1/4 tsp (below interim reference level)

How should I store and use this coarse sea salt to keep it fresh?

Store Saltique French Sea Salt in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors to preserve its flavor and texture. Because the crystals can be slightly moist, keep the bag sealed between uses and transfer to an airtight jar if you plan to store it long term.

• Seal original bag or move to an airtight container after opening
• Keep away from heat and scented foods to avoid flavor transfer
• Use as a finishing salt or for recipes that call for coarse sea salt

Who is this for: Saltique French Sea Salt Coarse is intended for home cooks, chefs and food lovers who want an authentic, unrefined finishing salt with natural mineral character. It suits anyone seeking an artisanal sea salt to finish dishes, add texture to baked goods, or enhance marinades and rubs—especially those who value traditional harvesting methods and minimal processing. If you require perfectly dry crystals for an electric grinder or need absolute zero trace metals for a specialized diet, consider drying the crystals first or consult product testing details before purchase.
