About Grey salt

Grey salt is a coarse, greyish culinary salt, commonly sold as moist crystals or granules. Its colour and damp texture are associated with the way some such salts are harvested and handled; the exact mineral content and grain size vary by product. The crystals dissolve more slowly than fine salt and can provide a crunchy texture when used as a finishing salt.

It is used for seasoning during cooking or sprinkled over food at the end. Products may be sold coarse, ground, or blended, and moisture and particle size affect how a given volume measures. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish plain salt from blends and account for differences in crystal size and moisture.
