Ideal Salt for Pickling and Fermenting Vegetables with Natural Minerals
When it comes to pickling and fermenting vegetables, the choice of salt is crucial. Using a salt that is unrefined and rich in natural minerals not only enhances flavor but also supports the natural fermentation process. Real Salt offers a range of premium, ancient sea salts that are perfect for these culinary traditions, delivering authentic taste and health benefits.
Why Choose Real Salt for Pickling and Fermenting?
Real Salt is harvested from ancient sea beds and remains unprocessed and chemically untreated. This means it retains over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals that contribute to both flavor complexity and nutritional value. Unlike refined salts, Real Salt does not contain additives like iodine or anti-caking agents, making it ideal for fermentation and pickling where purity is essential.
