Natural Sea Salt 1.36kg

A coarse, mineral-rich sea salt harvested from evaporated seawater, this Natural Sea Salt offers a clean, bright salinity with subtle oceanic minerality. Light-gray to off-white crystals deliver a satisfying crunch and dissolve evenly, making it versatile across cooking and finishing applications. Its unrefined character preserves trace minerals and a slightly briny depth that enhances overall flavor without overt bitterness.

Flavour profile

Clean, pure saltiness with gentle mineral and ocean notes

Subtle briny complexity—more rounded than sharp table salt

Crisp mouthfeel from medium-coarse crystals that adds textural contrast when used as a finish

Culinary uses

Seasoning during cooking for soups, stews, stocks, and braises to build foundational savory flavor

Finishing salt for grilled vegetables, meats, salads, and egg dishes to add crunch and a bright burst of salinity

Used in brines and pickling solutions to extract moisture and season evenly

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent clumping from moisture

Avoid direct exposure to heat or strong odors; shelf-stable indefinitely, but best used within 2–3 years for optimal freshness and free-flowing texture.

Baeksul Korean Cooking Syrup (Mulyeot) 700g

A clear, glossy, amber syrup made from malt and rice-based sugars, Baeksul Mulyeot is a traditional Korean cooking syrup used to add sheen, sweetness, and body to a wide range of dishes. Light to medium-bodied with a clean, mildly malty-sweet backbone, it integrates smoothly into batters, glazes, and sauces without overpowering other flavors.

• Binding agent in batters and fillings to improve texture and moisture retention (e.g., for deep-fried items)

• Component in sauces, marinades, and dressings to round acidity and balance savory elements

Storage

• Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dark place away from direct heat

• Refrigeration not required but can prolong quality; use within 12–24 months for best flavor and texture.
