Indian sun flakes are obtained entirely by hand in a saltworks in northeastern India. The sun flakes are a real Fleur de Sel. On hot and windy days the evaporation of the seawater on the surface of the water creates little salt flowers that resemble a fine layer of ice. These are skimmed off by hand using a wooden spoon. Then the freshly harvested salt is dried by the sun under glass. Through the drying process, the beautiful salt flakes are created.

The unusually mild flavor is due to the calcium and magnesium contained in the salt. Due to its special structure, the Fleur de Sel is rarely used for cooking, but is primarily a table salt.

Sprinkle the delicate, mild salt on salads, grilled vegetables or beef tartar.
