Vibrant natural salts are swiping basic white salt off the table. These wild and wonderful offerings of the sea have colourful names as well as rich hues, from Persian Blue to Yellow Margarita, and from Himalayan Pink to Lava Red. Each has subtle differences in flavour and texture and is often used to finish a dish for a splash of colour and seasoning.
There are eight sea salts, seven coloured salts and 18 salt blends in the range from Yorkshire-based Steenbergs, which started in 2003 with Fleur de Sel, sun-dried and hand-harvested in the Algarve. For recipe suggestions go to www.steenbergs.co.uk
