Kosher salt
Sal kosher in Spanish
Kosher salt is a type of salt that is used in many cuisines. It is made from evaporated salt water and has a coarse texture. Kosher salt is used to add flavor to food, as well as to tenderize meat. Kosher salt pairs well with other salty ingredients, such as soy sauce, fish sauce, and anchovies. It can also be paired with sweet ingredients, such as honey, to balance out the flavors.
