Fleur De Lis - A Delicious Alternative to the Global Salt Market


Fleur de sels are basically seaweed that forms in a thick, clear crust on the exposed surface of water as it dissolves. The most familiar type is fleur de noir, which is harvested in the Pacific Ocean from the waters off Chile, Norway, and the Faroe Islands. Fleur de sels were historically gathered from the oceans of Southern Europe, Africa, Asia, and the North Sea. Because of its heavy clay-like structure, which prevents light from penetrating its interior, it is often sold in bulk. It has also been found in other locations, including the Dead Sea and the Caspian Sea. Fleur de sels have been collected since early days, and is still widely used today as an herbal cure and seasoning for food.

Its traditional use as a medicinal treatment dates back to Roman times. It was thought to have pain relieving properties and is used to treat skin disorders such as acne and wounds, according to Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic texts describe fleur de sel as having properties that "provide the body with much needed nourishment" and as having "mineralizing action that helps to reduce congestion and relieve irritation." It has also been said to help relieve the symptoms of consumption that are associated with digestion such as flatulence, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. It has also been associated with various vitamins (especially B12), calcium, iron, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, silica, and tannin.

Becausefleur de selis usually sold as an amber-colored crystal salt, its use as an aromatic ingredient in perfumes, toilet water, bath salts, mouthwash, and other products is fairly common. Fleur de sels can be kept as fleur de lis pendants, a salt crystal, or in salt pans that can be kept on table tops. It can be used in cooking by placing it on food or in salt pans that are placed directly onto the food to marinate it.

Like many Himalayan salt crystals, fleur de sel does not release any flavor when exposed to heat. This makes it a good ingredient to use in cooking as it maintains a constant flavor throughout the cooking process. In addition, it has a relatively high moisture content which makes it ideal for baking. One of the most common ways to use it is to add it to a batter very lightly or mix it into batter. This is because the high moisture content of the crystal salts allows them to maintain their shape when mixed with other ingredients. It also creates a crunchy texture when heated.

It is important to keep fleur de sel in a cool and dry place because it releases a foul odor when exposed to extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures such as those found in most kitchens can cause the salt crystals to break down and become contaminated. Before using fleur de sel, it is important to thoroughly wash any utensils that come in contact with it to remove any leftover bacteria or contaminants.

The most popular form offleur de selis the table salt crystal, which is harvested from the foothills of the majestic Himalayan Mountains. It is harvested from rocks located in four different villages surrounding the village of Dhaulagiri. These mountains range in elevation from thirty eight to fifty eight hundred meters, which means that there is a great variation in the quality of the salt harvested from these locations. Because of this variation, it is nearly impossible to describe all of the varieties available on the market. It is advised that anyone purchasing sea salt take a sample to an authentic salt farm to test for any trace of contamination.

The highest quality fleur de sel is harvested from the crystal grown in the village of Dhaulagiri. This crystal is harvested using a method that leaves behind little discernable particles of debris. Because the crystals are harvested so close to the surface, the small particles are much easier to identify on a plate than one that has been harvested from further away.

Fleur de sels are available throughout the world, but the highest quality crystals from Portugal are considered to be the rarest and most unique. While there is no international standard for salt quality, many salt producers strive to make their product as high quality as possible. The high moisture content in the salt crystals harvested from Portugal offer a unique flavor not found in other salts.
