Recipes & Uses

Why Choose Natural Salt with Organic Kelp?

Salt plus savoury flavour
The kelp brings natural umami character rather than simply making food saltier.

Made with just sea salt and kelp
A straightforward seasoning with no need for a long list of flavourings.

Particularly good with seafood and vegetables
The gentle oceanic character works naturally with fish, potatoes, greens and broths.

Use it just like everyday seasoning
You don't need a special recipe — simply use it wherever you would normally reach for salt.

An easy finishing seasoning
Keep it near the stove or table and sprinkle over finished food just before serving.

What Does Salt with Kelp Taste Like?

The first flavour is familiar:

Salt.

But underneath it, the kelp adds a deeper savoury, slightly oceanic and umami-rich note.

It doesn't make everything taste strongly of seaweed.

Used appropriately, it simply gives food a little more depth.

This makes it particularly useful with relatively simple foods such as:

Eggs
Potatoes
Avocado
Vegetables
Fish
Broths

where a complicated seasoning blend isn't necessary.

What Is Kelp?

Kelp is a type of large sea vegetable.

SpicenEasy's blend uses certified organic New Zealand Giant Kelp, finely incorporated into natural sea salt.

Sea vegetables naturally contain compounds associated with the savoury taste known as umami.

That's why kelp has traditionally been used to add depth to stocks, broths and other savoury foods.

Combined with salt, it becomes an easy everyday seasoning rather than an ingredient you need to prepare separately.

How to Use Natural Salt with Organic Kelp

Eggs

Sprinkle lightly over:

Scrambled eggs
Fried eggs
Poached eggs
Omelettes

The kelp adds a subtle savoury layer without needing another seasoning blend.

Avocado Toast

Season avocado with:

Natural Salt with Organic Kelp
Black Pepper
A squeeze of lemon

Add chilli flakes if you want some heat.

Roast Vegetables

Use on:

Potatoes
Kumara
Pumpkin
Cauliflower
Carrots

either before roasting or as a finishing sprinkle afterwards.

Fish & Seafood

The subtle oceanic character makes it a natural match for:

Salmon
White fish
Prawns
Scallops

Use with lemon, pepper and a little olive oil.

Salads

Sprinkle over tomato, cucumber, avocado or leafy salads just before serving.

Soups & Broths

Add gradually to vegetable broth, seafood soups or miso-style soups for both seasoning and savoury depth.

Why Kelp Adds Umami

We often describe food as:

Sweet
Sour
Salty
Bitter

but savoury foods can also have umami.

Umami is the deep savoury quality commonly associated with ingredients such as:

Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Parmesan
Seaweed

Kelp contributes that savoury dimension.

That's why adding kelp to salt can make a simple seasoning taste more rounded than plain salt alone.

Natural Kelp Salt vs Regular Salt

Choose regular salt when you simply want straightforward saltiness.

Choose Natural Salt with Organic Kelp when you want:

• Salt plus umami
• A subtle savoury finish
• Something particularly good with seafood
• Extra depth on vegetables and potatoes
• A more interesting table seasoning

You can use it in many of the same places as regular salt.

The difference is the extra layer of flavour.

Try It This Way

For easy crispy potatoes:

Cut potatoes into wedges or small chunks.

Toss with:

Olive oil
Natural Salt with Organic Kelp
Black Pepper
Garlic

Roast until crisp and golden.

Taste once cooked and add another light sprinkle if needed.

The kelp complements the savoury potato flavour without requiring a complicated seasoning blend.

Use It on Popcorn

Fresh popcorn is another food where the seasoning gets to stand out.

While the popcorn is still warm, toss with:

A little melted butter or oil

and

Natural Salt with Organic Kelp

The salt gives you the familiar savoury hit while the kelp adds more depth underneath.

Try It with Tomatoes

Slice ripe tomatoes.

Drizzle with olive oil.

Add:

Natural Salt with Organic Kelp
Black Pepper

and optionally:

Basil
Balsamic vinegar

Tomatoes naturally have plenty of savoury character of their own, so the kelp seasoning works particularly well with them.

Add It to Broths

Try a small amount in:

Vegetable broth
Miso soup
Noodle soup
Seafood chowder

Add gradually and taste as you go.

Because the product already contains salt, you may not need as much additional salt elsewhere in the recipe.

Beyond the Salt Shaker

Once you've opened the pack, try it on:

• Eggs
• Avocado toast
• Tomatoes
• Salads
• Roast potatoes
• Hot chips
• Popcorn
• Roast vegetables
• Salmon
• White fish
• Prawns
• Rice
• Noodles
• Soups
• Broths
• Corn
• Steamed greens

Natural Salt with Organic Kelp works best when you think of it as an everyday salt with extra savoury character rather than a specialist seaweed seasoning.

Season Gradually

This product already contains salt.

Use a little, taste, then add more if necessary.

If you're adding it to a recipe that already contains salty ingredients such as soy sauce, stock or miso, reduce the amount accordingly.

Storage

Store Natural Salt with Organic Kelp in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place.

Protect it from humidity to help prevent clumping and preserve the flavour of the kelp.
