Taste
Gourmets often believe sea salt to have a better taste and texture than ordinary table salt. In applications where sea salt's coarser texture is retained, it can provide a different mouth feel and changes in flavor due to its different rate of dissolution. The mineral content also affects the taste. Some seasalt contains sulfates. It may be difficult to distinguish sea salt from other salts, such as pink "Himalayan salt", or rock salt (halite).

Famous quotes containing the word taste:
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For months it hasn’t known the taste of steel
Washed down with rusty water in a tin.
But standing outdoors hungry, in the cold,
Except in towns at night, is not a sin.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“No taste is so acquired as that for someone else’s quality of mind.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
