Cargill’s Alberger® Fine Flake Salt is made with a proprietary process that creates a unique crystal structure and outperforms standard table salt on French fries. Think of table salt as a smooth, cubic, dice-like shape; whereas Alberger® Fine Flake Salt has a nonuniform appearance with lots of little crevices and bumps. This roughness helps it stick better to the surface of foods, where table salt is more likely to bounce off of foods, thereby creating more waste. If you have ever shaken table salt on fries, you can picture the particles bouncing off the fries and falling to the bottom of the container.
