Salt

Salt sits at the base of Turkish cooking, and this category is where households find the specific type they need, whether that is a fine table salt, a coarse salt for pickling and brining, or citric acid crystals known as limon tuzu for adding sharpness to soups and dolma. It sits within Seasonings & Spices alongside the wider spice range, and covers 12 products from two trusted brands.

What the range covers

Billur Tuz supplies the everyday basics: Iodized Table Salt in 500g, a Sea Salt product in 750g and 1500g sizes, and a 3000g Coarse Salt Brine pack sized for pickling vegetables or preserving. Bodrum brings the specialist end of the shelf, including Coarse and Fine Himalayan Rose Pink Salt in several sizes, Coarse Lemon Salt and Citric Acid Powder, both of which are the tangy limon tuzu used in Turkish soups, dolma and stuffed vegetables, and a Hot Curry Powder that strays slightly outside pure salt for cooks who like to season while they salt. A Salina Iodized Table Salt also appears for shoppers who prefer an alternative everyday brand.

How to choose, store and use

Use fine table salt for everyday seasoning and baking, coarse sea or Himalayan salt for finishing dishes or salt-crust cooking, and the Billur Coarse Salt Brine when pickling cucumbers or preparing turnip juice at home. Citric acid (limon tuzu) is added sparingly, a pinch at a time, to soups, dolma or lentil dishes for a sour edge rather than a salty one, so keep it separate from your regular salt to avoid mixing them up. All these products are shelf-stable and keep indefinitely in a sealed container away from moisture. Prices start from under £2, so it is easy to stock several types at once.
