Essentially pure sodium chloride with minimal trace minerals; volume measures vary widely due to large, airy crystals. Large flakes give bursts of salinity while appearing less dense than fine salts.

Flaky sea salt is a finishing salt made from large, delicate crystals of evaporated seawater. The brittle pyramids crush easily and deliver a clean, briny snap, dissolving quickly on warm foods. Cooks use it to finish steaks, vegetables, salads, breads, and confections, and it’s sold as broad flat flakes or featherlike crystals in small boxes or tins.
Artisanal saltworks along coastal Europe and other regions developed controlled pan-evaporation methods that encourage pyramid or plate-like crystals. It spread globally through modern restaurant and home cooking as a final seasoning valued for texture shaped by brine strength, temperature, and airflow.
