Why Choose a Citrus Brine Mix?

Brining your turkey or chicken with a citrus-infused mix like the Real Salt Brine Kit helps lock in moisture and infuse subtle, balanced flavors. The salt draws juices to the surface and then reabsorbs them, resulting in tender, juicy meat that’s not overly salty. The addition of dried orange and lemon peel adds a natural brightness that elevates your dish beyond traditional brines.
