The Therapist Functional Salts is a collection of natural seasonings created to enhance flavor, simplify preparation, and add personality to your recipes. Each bottle combines sea salt with herbs, spices, and citrus fruits carefully selected by a functional chef, ensuring clean aromas and a consistent culinary experience. The philosophy is simple: Bring out the best in each ingredient, avoiding overdone flavoring and unnecessary processes.
Using flavored salts, many dishes become naturally more expressive, which can help you season with less salt without sacrificing intensity. The flavor profile comes from spices and herbal notes, not artificial enhancers. This makes Functional Salts a versatile tool for home cooking: they work in marinades, stir-fries, and grilling, but they also shine in the finish when sprinkled on at the end to preserve volatile aromatic compounds.
Each variety has a clear role in everyday cooking. Smoked Salt adds depth and a barbecued touch to roasted vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, or baked potatoes. Cheesy Salt uses nutritional yeast to add a cheesy, umami flavor, ideal for pasta, vegetables, bowls, and popcorn—completely vegan. Brisa Salt combines herbs and citrus for salads, bruschetta, rice, and white fish, offering instant freshness. Sea Salt adds nori seaweed and lemon, perfect for seafood dishes, but also surprising on steamed vegetables and homemade ramen.
All salts are plant-based, color- and flavor-free, and packaged in reusable jars to protect the aroma from light and moisture. If you're building a functional pantry, complement this collection with crunchy snacks for quick toppings, explore pancake and cake mixes for easy breakfasts, and discover blends and teas that complete a balanced daily routine. Seasonings that work for you. More expressive dishes. Cooking becomes simple and enjoyable.
What differentiates The Therapist Functional Salts from ordinary table salts?
Functional Salts are complete seasonings, not just sodium chloride. They combine sea salt with herbs, spices, and citrus fruits selected by a functional chef, resulting in layers of natural and stable flavor. We don't use artificial colors, flavors, or synthetic enhancers. The goal is to elevate the dish with recognizable ingredients and a coherent aromatic profile, ready to use for both cooking and finishing.
What's the best way to use functional salts in everyday dishes?
There are two key moments. When cooking, use a pinch to season and allow the aromas to infuse the food. When finishing, sprinkle lightly before serving to preserve the fresh, smoky notes. As a quick guide: Smoky on grilled and roasted vegetables, Cheesy on pasta, potatoes, and popcorn, Breezy on salads and rice, Do Mar on fish, seafood, and ramen. Adjust to taste and desired intensity.
Do The Therapist Functional Salts contain any artificial additives, colors, or flavors?
No. The blends are made only with sea salt and real culinary ingredients—herbs, spices, citrus fruits, and, in the case of Cheesy, nutritional yeast for umami. This approach ensures short labels, clean flavor, and transparency into what you're using in your kitchen.
Do the Smoky, Cheesy, Breezy, and Do Mar varieties serve different purposes?
Yes. Each variety was designed for preferred use. Smoke adds depth and charred notes to vegetables, tofu, and potatoes. Cheesy adds body and umami flavor to pastas, bowls, and vegan snacks. Brisa adds herbaceous and citrusy freshness to salads, rice, and white fish. Do Mar combines nori seaweed and lemon for seafood dishes, but also works well in steamed vegetables and broths. Use it as a starting point and explore combinations to your liking.
