Real Salt vs Table Salt: Key Differences & Health Benefits

Understanding the Difference Between Real Salt and Regular Table Salt

When it comes to seasoning your food, not all salts are created equal. Real Salt offers a unique alternative to regular table salt, providing a natural, unrefined option that retains essential trace minerals and a rich flavor profile. This page explores the key differences between Real Salt and conventional table salt, highlighting the benefits and features of Real Salt products to help you make an informed choice for your kitchen.

What Makes Real Salt Different?

Unrefined and Naturally Sourced

Real Salt is an ancient sea salt harvested exactly as nature intended. Unlike regular table salt, which is heavily processed and often stripped of minerals, Real Salt is unrefined and contains over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals. This means you get a more complex flavor and added nutritional benefits that typical table salt lacks.

No Chemical Processing

Regular table salt is usually treated with anti-caking agents and sometimes bleached to achieve a pure white appearance. Real Salt, on the other hand, is never chemically treated or processed, preserving its natural mineral content and color.
"Nature’s First Sea Salt®" is a fitting description for Real Salt, emphasizing its purity and authenticity.
