Finishing Salts--WOW!

My youngest DAU lives in Portland, OR area and sent me a sampler pack of finishing salts from "The Meadow" out there.

As far as taste goes, I had always felt that "salt is salt is salt" with the exception of Sea Salt which seems to have some extra mineral taste.

This is the sampler pack of 6 she sent me.

The color and texture varies from standard salt white to browns and blacks and the texture from "normal" to very large crystals.
They also include a detailed brochure explaining each type in detail and the best use for it.
Sure glad they did

The flavor is intense and it takes just a tiny, tiny pinch on the finished product to affect the flavor with an unbelievable POP! 8)
Each and every one of the 6 are totally different in flavor.

I am gonna spend some time exploring these and will probably buy a little larger bottle of my favorite one or two.

Just wished I had discovered these years ago. 8)

Good Eats!

For the "standard four" comp meats, I would be very, very careful.
Would be easy to "over salt" or introduce "unusual flavors" that some judges might not like. 8)
Might be possible to use them in a finishing rub, but test it to death before you try it live at a comp.
