About Medium-coarse salt
Medium-coarse salt is edible salt sold as crystals larger than fine table salt but smaller than very coarse grains. The crystals are typically visibly granular and dissolve more slowly than finely ground salt. Its flavour is the familiar salty taste of salt; crystal size mainly affects handling, dissolution, and how evenly it disperses.
It is used for general seasoning and cooking, and may be sprinkled, measured by volume, or ground further. The term describes a size category rather than a source or processing method, so products can be sea salt, mined salt, or otherwise processed salt, with differing crystal shapes and additives.
