How Do You Store Your Zen Cube?

The Ultimate Finishing Salt!

My HimalaSalt Zen Cube that comes with a stainless steel Inox Italian grater has gotten a lot of buzz lately. AOL picked it as one of the top food gifts for the holidays, people have been blogging about it like crazy, and Phil Lempert, the Food Guru reviewed it on The Today Show, voting it one of the coolest products he's seen in a long time!

Why is it so cool? It's gorgeous to look at, to hold, to grate, and especially to taste the super fine powder akin to powdered sugar, that you get when you grate a fine dusting over all sorts of dishes, including and especially, desserts. The flavor of the salt really blossoms when you grate it, you get to taste the sweet, salty, all the subtle nuances of the essential trace elements... this is what salt is supposed to taste like... no tongue burning here.

It's artisan carved from the purest selected pink Himalayan sea salt crystals, the HimalaSalt Zen Cube brings elegance, tranquility, and a bit of zen fun to your meals, in addition to being the perfect finishing salt for edamame, salads, steamed greens, pastas, bread dipped in oils, and more! Grater made of high grade Italian stainless. Each cube is hand-carved and varies in size, yet each one weighs approximately 1lb.

How Do You Store It?

Alot of people have very fairly asked me that question. It comes in a low-footprint cello bag with an insert card explaining the product, however what do you do with it after you take it out of the package?

A very creative gallery own in NYC placed 12 of them, one at each place setting for a dinner party, and added the extra sensory touch of a bouquet garni of fresh herbs and edible flowers, with the grater leaning on the back, his guests went crazy, even better, he gave it to each one as a gift to take home. On the homefront, I place mine on several different small plates, depending upon how I'm setting the table.

Besides keeping it dry - yes, you can rinse it quickly and then dry it off and it doesn't melt like you'd think it might, they last a very long time. I've used a small flat plank of polished tree root from Indonesia, a small mango wood rectangular plate (food grade finishing, of course), a slab of salvaged marble (one of my favorites), a Japanese lacquered dish, and some very cool, small pieces of pottery. It doesn't have to be stored airtight, it's there for a visual treat too.

What I've Used It For...

Grating finely over edamame, ice cream, caramel, salads, finishing off grilled fish, watermelon, chocolate ganache, grilled vegetables, rice, beans, cucumbers and raw veggies with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, it's like a meditation or a moment to pause and be grateful for the abundance and blessings I have, to be able to eat the best organic natural foods available, and especially to be able to feed those to my children and friends.
