The production of fleur de sel

The creation of fleur de sel is very complex and requires manual skills from the salt farmers to channel seawater into artificially created pools. Here the seawater evaporates due to the intense sunshine in summer at high temperatures. What remains is a highly concentrated brine, which passes then into a so-called drying basin. On days with a light wind, beautiful salt crystals settle here on the water surface. These delicate salt formations are the famous French fleur de sel. They are then skimmed carefully and dried a little before being sent to Europe.

Hibiscus flowers (Karkadeh)

Hibiscus flowers also called Karkadeh and belong to the mallow family. They have a wonderfully sour aroma and are suitable for the preparation of soft drinks. In Sri Lanka, for example, hibiscus flowers are mixed in curry - this then has a beautiful reddish-lilac color and a sour aroma. The aroma of the hibiscus goes well with fish and seafood, as well as with salad.
