Australian Murray River Salt - Pink Salt Flakes - Flakes, Pinch Tins

Murray River salt consists of subtle, peach-colored crystals. The flakes have a mild flavor and are ideal for seasoning. The secret: this salt is only tasted in the background, enhancing the natural flavor of dishes such as foie gras. The flakes practically melt between your fingers. The Murray River is the largest river in Australia. Along its course, it flows through landscapes with elevated salt concentrations. The Murray Darling Basin, with its low rainfall and high evaporation rate, is an ideal location for extracting groundwater with a high salt concentration. The color of the salt obtained from this natural brine comes from secreted red pigments (carotenes) produced by salt-tolerant algae.
