Since 1732, this generic name has been known in French through the lexicography of the Trévoux dictionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term likely comes from the Latin expression \u003cem data-start=\"117\" data-end=\"129\"\u003eflos salis\u003c\/em\u003e, which Pliny, Cato the Elder, and Dioscorides used to describe the finest salt crystals that formed on the water’s surface. Before the 12th century, people also adopted the expression in French. In Brittany, a merchant from Batz reportedly popularised the name to highlight the unique harvesting method. Salt workers collect this delicate salt from the surface of the salt pans, where it forms the most prized and highest-quality part of the production—the true “flower” of the salt harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e Source: Gildas Buron-Homme du Sel-Bretagne des marais salants.
