Best Salt for Grilling: Elevate BBQ Flavor with Real Salt®

Best Salt for Grilling: Enhance Your BBQ with Real Salt®

Grilling is an art that depends heavily on the quality of your ingredients, and salt plays a crucial role in bringing out the best flavors. For those seeking the perfect salt to elevate their grilling experience, Real Salt® offers a range of unrefined, ancient sea salts and seasoning blends designed to complement and enhance grilled meats and vegetables naturally. All Real Salt® products are unprocessed and contain over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals, preserving the authentic taste of “Nature’s First Sea Salt®.” This ensures your grilled dishes receive a pure, mineral-rich seasoning without any chemical treatments.

Kosher Salt: Ideal for Meat Seasoning and More

Real Salt Kosher Pouch (16 oz)

Real Salt’s kosher salt features medium-sized grains that are slightly larger than fine salt, making it especially effective for seasoning meat. Its grain size helps draw out proteins, which promotes caramelization and a richer crust on grilled meats. This salt is also versatile enough for vegetables, edamame, and even margaritas.
Medium grains perfect for pinching and tossing, favored by chefs for cooking meat to perfection.

Real Salt Kosher Shaker (10 oz)

For convenience at the grill or kitchen table, the kosher shaker offers the same unrefined salt with 60+ trace minerals in a handy refillable container. Its size grains make it easy to sprinkle evenly over your favorite grilled dishes.

Real Salt Kosher 25 lb Bag

For serious grillers or commercial use, the 25 lb kosher salt bag provides a long-lasting supply.

The salt never expires and can be stored in the bag or transferred to a container.

Coarse Salt: Bold Flavor and Texture for Grilling

Coarse grains deliver a bold, fresh flavor when ground, ideal for finishing grilled dishes.
