{"product_id":"alati-erimoy-tar-granule","title":"Desert Salt Tar Granule","description":"\u003cp\u003eTar Desert Granule Salt is one of the rarest and most authentic natural salts in the South Asian subcontinent. It is hand-harvested by nomadic herders in the arid desert, far from any industrial intervention, without chemical processing or additives. The Tar Desert region was once covered by sea, and the natural salt deposits that formed there give them a unique mineral composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe salt we use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use natural crystal granules, unrefined and without additives. Their form — medium granules, slightly larger than common table salt — makes them ideal for cooking as well as for finishing salt. They retain their natural mineral composition completely unaltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGeographical identity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tar Desert (India\/Pakistan) is one of the largest salt pans of the East, an area once covered by sea. Natural sources of salt water flowing beneath the desert emerge into small saltwater lagoons. During the summer months with temperatures up to 50°C, the lagoons evaporate, leaving behind crystals. They are collected exclusively by hand by nomadic herders living in this arid region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma, color and taste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe grains appear creamy to slightly grayish, reflecting their rich mineral composition. Their taste is rounded and authentic with a slight earthy undertone — it's not just salty, but has a slight earthy complexity that distinguishes it from classic table salt. The texture of the grains is slightly crunchy and dissolves smoothly in the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it's used\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to its granule form, it can be used both in cooking and as a finishing salt. It dissolves easily in boiling water for cooking, but retains its texture when sprinkled directly onto a finished dish. Ideal for grilled meats, fish, risotto, grilled vegetables, and fresh salads.
