Global Gourmet Salt Market By Overview

Gourmet salts are naturally harvested sea salts that contain low sodium levels. The demand for these salts is relatively high across the globe with consumers shifting their food patterns towards consumption of healthy alternatives over their conventional counterparts. They are unrefined, naturally-harvested salts with comparatively lower sodium content, and without additives. Due to media exposure and increasing globalization, people are becoming more aware of various cuisines and are becoming more open to experimenting with food. By using gourmet salt, chefs are improvising on the recipes, enhancing the organoleptic qualities and hence, are increasing the appeal.
Increasing demand for gourmet salts from food and beverage industries for improving food taste, color, and flavor is a key factor driving development of the global gourmet salt market. In addition, growing use of gourmet salts for pickling and canning purposes are another key driving factors. These are all in terms of increasing shelf life of food products is a major factor expected to fuel growth to the global gourmet salt market over the forecast period.
