Bulk Salt Storage Considerations
The 25 lb. bag of Real Salt Fine is a popular choice for those who use salt frequently and want to stock up. While this product does not come with a bucket, it is often recommended to transfer the salt into a suitable container for easier handling and longer freshness.
