Roast SZP in a hot, dry skillet until smoking but not burnt. Let that cool a little bit.

Dump in food processor to grind to same size as your salt. Then you add your salt and pulse a just couple of times to

fully incorporate the flavors together.

You can either keep it a little chunky or fine,

as you like Use equal amts of SZP

and sea salt. You can adjust based on

your tastes. If you are using a very

fine sea salt or just regular table salt, decrease the amt of salt.

Try this combination on potato chips! Make them yourself (its

very simple with a mandolin) and flavor with SZP Salt while they

are hot.

Or, dump a bag of your favorite plain chips onto a baking sheet + 375 F for 5 minutes, remove and

sprinkle with SZP Salt.

Ohhh…how about French fries with SZP Salt at your next dinner

party? Nothing like watching the reaction of your guests as their lips tingle and they discover a new taste!

When you get your SZP, take a couple of pods and chew - the tip of your tongue will go tingly! 

Cooking the SZP tames the pepperyness and the numbing quality.

Matcha is Japanese green tea powder made from the highest quality of green

tea leaves. Its a stunning and lovely mossy color which makes such a

pretty finishing salt, especially if you use a white plate and also sprinkle

some directly on the plate.

Use with dishes that are light in texture and flavor, since this salt’s flavor is more delicate and subtle.

It gives a beautiful floral, grassy, sweet and soothing aroma.

Chocolate truffle or chocolate bar + dip in Matcha Salt.
