All-Natural Unprocessed Salt for Home Vegetable Fermentation

All-Natural Unprocessed Salt for Fermenting Vegetables at Home

When fermenting vegetables, using pure, unprocessed salt is essential to preserve natural flavors and support healthy fermentation. Real Salt offers a range of all-natural, ancient sea salts that contain over 60 trace minerals and are never chemically treated or processed. These salts are ideal for home fermenting, pickling, and canning, ensuring your vegetables develop rich, authentic taste and texture.

Real Salt Fine Bulk (25 lb.)

Real Salt Fine Bulk is an unrefined sea salt with small grain size, making it perfect for everyday seasoning and fermenting vegetables. Its fine grains dissolve easily, which helps maintain consistent salinity in your fermenting brine. This salt is packed with more than 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals, supporting both flavor and nutritional value in your homemade ferments.

Benefits for Fermenting:

  • Small grains that blend smoothly into brines
  • Ideal for pickling, fermenting, and canning
  • Never processed or chemically treated, preserving natural minerals
  • Comes in a large 25 lb. bag to keep your kitchen well-stocked
  • Salt never expires, so you can store it long-term without worry
This fine salt is also versatile for cooking, baking, and seasoning, making it a staple for your kitchen beyond fermentation.

Real Salt Kosher 25 lb Bag

For those who prefer a coarser grain, Real Salt Kosher offers medium-sized crystals that are excellent for fermenting vegetables as well as seasoning meats and vegetables. The larger grains are favored by chefs for their ability to draw out proteins and enhance caramelization, but they also work well in fermentation by providing a steady salt concentration.

Fermentation and Culinary Uses:

  • Medium grain size suitable for fermenting, pickling, and canning
  • Contains 60+ trace minerals, unprocessed and chemical-free
  • Great for seasoning vegetables and edamame in addition to meat
  • Comes in a 25 lb. bulk bag for long-term use
  • Natural clumping may occur but does not affect quality
This kosher salt is a versatile choice if you want a salt that performs well in both fermentation and cooking.
