The coarse salt No2 is a type of salt that has large grains and is commonly used in cooking to add flavor and to disinfect food.

The large grains make it suitable for:

• salting meats and fish before grilling or cooking
• salting the boiling of pasta and other foods

It is important to use coarse salt with care, as the large grains may make it difficult to dissolve in liquids. It is not suitable for all cooking applications, but mainly for salting surfaces and salting food before cooking.

The No2 type refers to the grain size, where No2 salt is coarser than No1 salt but finer than No3 salt.
