Salt of the Earth
Date: August 22, 2008 | Category: Food & Drink, Lifestyle
I’ll admit, that in the past I was fairly content with my Mediterranean sea salt. But what girl can resist dazzling pink crystals. Though I was wowed, the Himalayan pink salt still had to survive a grueling taste test with the rest of the discerning ecofab crew. So we dashed the rosy condiment on everything from fresh sliced tomatoes and grilled vegetables to a thin-crust margarita pizza. And the verdict was unanimous: These crystals rock!
Available in a 4-ounce glass or a 5-pound bag, the robust organic salt is harvested from a brackish spring located deep in the mountains of Peru. Adding a crunchy texture to sweets and savories, the flavor is milder and more nuanced than traditional salt. It also adds a sultry kick to a margarita, especially if you serve up one infused with watermelon or strawberry. Great for home or a gift, this is one bottle no ecofab kitchen should do without.

I love pink Himalayan sea salt just as much as the next foodie, but in the spirit of the “eoc” part of the blog’s name, I’d like to point out the carbon footprint of exotic, imported ingredients like this is rather big. Something to be mindful of when making food choices, as the upcoming Slow Food Nation will remind us many times over the next week.
