When it comes to pickling and fermenting vegetables, the quality and type of salt you use can make a significant difference in flavor and preservation. Real Salt offers a range of kosher salts that are unrefined, naturally rich in minerals, and perfectly suited for these traditional food preparation methods. Below, explore the best bulk kosher salt options designed to keep your kitchen stocked and your vegetables flavorful.

Real Salt Kosher 25 lb Bag

This 25-pound bag of Real Salt Kosher is ideal for those who want a long-lasting supply of premium kosher salt. It features medium-sized grains that are slightly larger than fine salt, making it excellent for pinching, tossing, and seasoning.
This salt is unrefined and contains over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals, preserving the natural complexity of sea salt without any chemical processing.
Its grain size is perfect for drawing out proteins in meat, but it also excels in canning, pickling, and fermenting vegetables. The salt never expires and can be stored in the original bag or transferred to a container. Natural clumping may occur, but simple storage tips can help maintain its quality. Key Benefits:
  • Medium grain size ideal for pickling and fermenting

Like its larger counterpart, this salt helps cook meat to perfection and is favored by chefs for its quality.
It’s also excellent for vegetables, edamame, margaritas, and importantly, pickling and fermenting. The 10 lb. bag balances convenience with bulk savings. Key Benefits:

This fine salt is unrefined and contains the same 60+ trace minerals, offering a versatile seasoning option beyond kosher salt.

This powder salt is unrefined and packed with 60+ trace minerals, maintaining the natural benefits of sea salt.
Its superfine texture also makes it a great choice for DIY personal care products, but in the kitchen, it shines in pickling and fermenting applications requiring a delicate salt touch. Key Benefits:
  • Superfine salt powder for even distribution
  • Unprocessed, mineral-rich sea salt
