Annam Rock Salt is a natural mineral salt composed predominantly of sodium chloride with trace amounts of other naturally occurring minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron that can subtly influence its color and flavor. Presented as coarse, crystalline rock salt, it is valued for its clean, saline taste and sturdy crystal structure, which makes it suitable for a wide range of food and household applications. Unlike highly processed table salt, rock salt crystals are larger and less uniform, providing a different mouthfeel and visual appeal when used as a finishing salt. Because it is not typically fortified with iodine, Annam Rock Salt should be used as part of a varied diet and not relied on as a source of dietary iodine.

To use Annam Rock Salt in the kitchen, taste as you go and add sparingly because crystal size affects perceived saltiness—grind or crush the crystals for even distribution, dissolve them in warm water to make brines or pickling solutions, or sprinkle coarse crystals as a finishing touch on cooked meats, vegetables or baked goods. For non-culinary uses, dissolve an appropriate amount in bath water for a relaxing soak or mix with a carrier oil for a body scrub, and always rinse thoroughly after topical use. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent clumping, keep out of reach of children, and consult a healthcare professional before using if you are on a low-sodium diet or require iodized salt.
