At The Salt Box, we know that salt is a way of life, not just a necessity. Salt can transform almost any meal from bland to a dish loaded with flavour. When eaten in moderation, salt is vital for human survival, but there are better ways to consume this essential mineral than by eating table salt from your local supermarket. Keep reading below to find out five main benefits of cooking on a salt block.
The Benefits of a Himalayan Salt Block
A cooking salt block is far from just a novelty. Here are some of the main benefits of using this beautiful red crystal to prepare and cook food:
- Make your meals healthier –salt blocks stabilise dehydration levels, improve digestion and reduce acid reflux, and they can help balance your pH level.
- Just a touch of unusual flavour – Salt blocks make food more delicious than standard table salt is capable of, and only a touch of its interesting flavour will be absorbed into your food.
- Germs don’t like it – Salt blocks are an excellent preparation surface because germs don’t like to live there thanks to the block’s low porosity and moisture retention.
- Salt blocks are resistant to heat – Even though it’s a good idea to heat salt blocks slowly, you can expect it to last for quite some time thanks to its inability to melt in temperatures under 800 C.
- Prepare and serve – Salt blocks are so versatile that you can prepare food on them, put them in the oven and serve food on the block, too – even if it’s cold.
