Sea salt

Energy: 0 kcal (planning figure — the product label is the final reference)

Shelf life: Effectively indefinite kept dry.

Storage: Dry and sealed; it cakes if humidity gets in.

• Ayran — salted to taste on a yogurt base
• A pinch balancing very sweet builds (salted caramel)
• A tiny pinch in chocolate drinks deepens the cocoa

In drinks, weigh salt rather than pinching it by hand — a scale is what keeps every batch identical. Start light and taste; the ayran SOP sets the dose.
