POPCORN/SNACK SALT: |
This is a very fine
grain salt. It is meant to cling to the oils or butter used in cooking
or applied after the popcorn has been popped. When tasting this salt
alone, the flavor is concentrated on the top center-forward of the
tongue, and the flavor dissipates quickly. This allows much more salt
to be used on the popcorn or a snack, without having a cumulative
effect bite after bite. Instead this salt seems to leave a clean taste
in the mouth.. Because the salt grains are so fine, this popcorn salt
usually contains Tricalcium Phosphate which is an anti-caking
additive. Tricalcium Phosphate gives this salt a bitter or off flavor
at the finish. It is not recommended for cooking since its off flavor
will not enhance your food, but is great for dead dough. This salt
dissolves quickly due to the small size of the grains, but leaves a
cloudy residue in clear water from the additives. |
