So, what is tuz?

Tuz is a type of salt that has been used for centuries in Turkish cuisine. It is a natural, unrefined salt that is hand-harvested from salt mines in Turkey. Tuz has a unique flavor profile that is slightly sweet and earthy, with a subtle mineral taste that comes from the salt's natural composition of potassium, magnesium, and calcium. This ingredient is highly regarded in Turkish cooking and is often used to enhance the flavor of meat dishes, salads, and vegetable dishes. Its coarse texture and distinctive taste make it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike, and its high mineral content makes it a healthier alternative to refined table salt.
