Chapter 65 coarse sea salt

Eating fried peanuts at a friend's house is very fragrant and delicious, which is quite different from the usual peanuts. I couldn't help being curious and asked about how to make peanuts. My friend said: "There is no special technique at all, just stir fry with coarse sea salt." The friend said, and found the coarse sea salt she used in the kitchen cabinet. It turned out to be the untreated salt we used when we were young.The crystals of coarse sea salt are large, like rock sugar dyed beige. A friend said that coarse sea salt tastes good and is rich in nutrition. When cooking, you only need to add a little coarse sea salt, and there is no need to add seasoning, and the fragrance will remain on the teeth and cheeks.

"It's a pity that such a good thing as coarse sea salt is abandoned by modern people and replaced by refined salt with bad taste and few nutrients." My friend said with emotion. This reminds me that many good things in the past were discarded because they were considered "rough", not just sea salt.A friend once brought me a pack of "molasses". Molasses is the sugar boiled out of the first process of making sucrose. It is black and honey-like. My friend said: Only this kind of molasses is good for the body, like "super-grade molasses". "White" sugar is only harmful to the body.

Although some old things are rough, they have extraordinary value, such as the coarse cotton and burlap we wore many years ago, which are still pursued by top fashion until now.Once when I went to see the latest fashion of "Issey Miyake", it was not only made of the thickest cotton, but also wrinkled. Especially food, the coarser it is, the healthier it is. For example, brown rice is better than white rice, rye bread is better than white bread, and natural food is better than processed food. We continue to refine our food, but we are actually creating disasters for ourselves. In the era of "over-processing" and "over-refining", we have created huge blind spots, and passed these blind spots to the next generation, mistakenly thinking that processing and refining are good, and those traditional and natural things are discarded instead. .

We were sitting in a friend's courtyard, talking about the inversion of "coarse" and "fine". My friend suddenly stood up, went to the kitchen, and carefully took out a pack of coarse sea salt. She said, "This pack of sea salt is for you." You, you take it back and cook it, and you will find that the taste of the food is completely different." There was a solemn breath in her words, which made me hold the bag of sea salt in both hands, and I was moved. It turns out that a pack of sea salt can also be given as the best gift. Everything in this world is so precious!
