Lavender Salt Grinder: A Bright Everyday Finish for Sweet and Savory
Save
The Lavender Spice Grinder in Salt is the most everyday member of the lineup. It is salt first, with lavender adding a bright, floral edge, so it slips into the cooking you already do instead of asking you to learn new recipes.
Why a lavender salt
Salt makes flavors taste more like themselves, and a little lavender adds lift on top. The combination is especially good as a finishing salt, sprinkled on right before serving, when you can still see the flecks and smell the lavender as the plate hits the table.
Savory ways to use it
- Fried or scrambled eggs and avocado toast
- Roasted carrots, potatoes and squash
- Roast or grilled chicken, seasoned before cooking
- Sliced summer tomatoes with olive oil
- Buttered popcorn, especially next to something sweet
The sweet side of salt
Salt and sweet are old friends. Try a few twists over chocolate brownies, caramel, honey-drizzled ricotta or the top of a batch of cookies right out of the oven. Our honey lavender kettle popcorn recipe is a fun sweet-and-salty project for a movie night.
Storing a salt grinder
Salt pulls moisture from the air, which can make it clump. Keep the grinder in a cool, dry spot, away from the dishwasher vent and the steam over the stove, and grind onto food rather than directly over a boiling pot. Check the label for ingredients and allergen information.
Building a set
Salt and Pepper with lavender are the natural table pair. Garlic Pepper covers weeknight roasting, and Culinary Lavender Buds covers baking. Together they make a ready-made foodie gift; build a box in the Gift Box Builder.
Frequently asked questions
Can I salt pasta water with it?
You can, but the lavender will mostly disappear in the water. Save it for finishing, where you will taste it.
Is it strong?
It is a bright, everyday seasoning. Start with a light hand, as with any salt.
