What is coarse salt?

Answer by  barbie (115)

Coarse salt is larger grained sea salt. You often see cooks on television using salt that they sprinkle with their hands out of an open container. It is coarse salt. It keeps better also, and seems to have a more intense flavor. Kosher salt and sea salt are other names for coarse salt.

"Coarse salt" refers to large-grain, coarsely ground salt. (In other words, not the finely ground table salt that people normally use to season dishes.) If a recipe calls for coarse salt, you can use either sea salt, which is acquired from evaporated sea water, or kosher salt. You can find coarse salt at most supermarkets and big box stores.

Sea salt, made by evaporating sea water, is coarser than table salt, which is sodium chloride mined from rock salt. The coarser sea salt's mineral content has less iodine than table salt, which is why some sea salts are now iodized..
