Real Salt® Fine Bulk (25 lb.) – Bulk Salt for Everyday Use

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.
  • Salt Weight: 25 lbs. per bag.
  • Storage Tip: Because the bag is large, transferring salt into multiple 1-gallon buckets (like the one in the bundle) can help with portion control and ease of use.
  • Salt Characteristics: Fine grain size, perfect for everyday seasoning, baking, canning, pickling, and fermenting.
  • Shelf Life: This salt never expires, making it ideal for long-term storage.
Using a bucket with a lid helps prevent natural clumping and keeps the salt dry.
