A reader recently asked me about the “salt” that is included in one of the pictures in the Summer Radish salad posting,
and it occurred to me that most people probably did not have the privilege of growing up with Jane’s Krazy Mixed Up Salt – or just crazy salt for short. Growing up, my mother used to cut up fresh tomatoes sprinkled with crazy salt as a healthy snack. These days, I use it in everything with a capitol E. In fact the only time I really use regular table salt is when I bake, or added to water when I make pasta. Once tomato season hits its peak, I love buying different varieties of heirloom tomatoes at the farmer’s market and taste testing them with just a hint of crazy salt and some fresh mozzarella. mmmm…
What makes crazy salt so special and unique you ask? I’m not entirely sure. It is a simple seasoned salt, one of many that are available in your local supermarket, but there’s something different about Jane’s. I chalk it up to the texture mainly. Crazy salt is a combination of herbs, spices, onion, garlic, and salt FLAKES. The flakes are thin little wafers of savory succulence, dissolving instantly on the tongue, and leaving no trace of the grainy texture that table salt has. It dissolves into sauces, marinades, dressing, and meaty juices with equal ease, imparting little bursts of flavor wherever it is poured. Whatever the secret mix of herbs and spices is, it surely accounts for part of the success of the product, although I would be hard-pressed to name any ingredients by taste other than pepper. Whatever the magic may be, I urge you all to try a bottle. It will be well worth the $2 investment.
