Product Background

Food Ingredient Salt was developed in 1886 using a proprietary evaporation process which created unique, hollow, multi-faceted salt crystals. Today, professional chefs prefer Diamond Crystal® Kosher Salt, as our salt crystals have a pure, clean taste and are fragile enough to crush between fingers for precise seasoning control.
