Natural Salt Crystals for Fasting: Unrefined Mineral-Rich Options

Salt Crystals for Fasting: Natural, Unrefined Options from Real Salt®

When fasting, maintaining proper mineral balance is important, and choosing the right salt can support your body's needs. Real Salt® offers a range of unrefined sea salt crystals that retain over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals, providing a pure and natural source of essential minerals without chemical processing. Below, explore the different Real Salt® crystal options suited for fasting and everyday use.

Fine Salt Crystals: Everyday Versatility and Mineral Richness

Real Salt Fine 26 oz Pouch

This fine-grain salt is the most popular choice for daily seasoning. Its small crystals dissolve easily, making it ideal for adding to water during fasting or enhancing meals without overpowering flavors. Because it is unrefined and contains a broad spectrum of trace minerals, it supports mineral replenishment naturally. The 26 oz refill pouch is a practical size for home use and helps reduce waste by allowing shaker reuse.

Real Salt® Fine Bulk (25 lb.)

For those who prefer to stock up, the bulk fine salt offers the same mineral-rich benefits in a large quantity. Perfect for frequent use, this salt is excellent for seasoning, baking, and even canning or fermenting. Its fine grains ensure quick dissolution, which is convenient for mixing into fasting beverages or recipes that require gentle seasoning.

Real Salt Fine Pocket Shaker Pack

If you need mineral-rich salt on the go, the pocket shaker pack provides fine salt crystals in a compact, refillable container. Each shaker holds about 1 ¼ teaspoons, making it easy to carry in purses, backpacks, or cars. This option is great for maintaining mineral intake during fasting periods away from home.

Coarse Salt Crystals: Bold Flavor and Grinding Freshness

Real Salt Coarse 16 oz Pouch

Featuring the largest grain size, this coarse salt is designed for use with grinders. Grinding releases a dramatic salty flavor, which can enhance foods like fruits or snacks consumed during fasting windows. Its unrefined nature ensures you receive the full spectrum of trace minerals with every pinch.

Real Salt Coarse Grinder

This 4.75 oz ceramic grinder comes pre-filled with coarse Real Salt crystals. The grinder allows you to freshly crush the salt, preserving its robust flavor and mineral content. Ideal for those who appreciate freshly ground salt and want to add a mineral boost to their fasting hydration or meals.

Medium Grain Salt: Specialized for Cooking and Mineral Support

Real Salt Kosher Pouch

With grains slightly larger than fine salt, this kosher salt is favored for seasoning meats and vegetables. Its texture helps draw out proteins, aiding caramelization and flavor development. Beyond cooking, its mineral content supports nutritional needs during fasting. It’s also suitable for pinching and tossing, making it versatile for various culinary uses including canning and fermenting.

Why Choose Real Salt® Crystals for Fasting?

Real Salt® is unrefined and never chemically treated, preserving over 60 trace minerals naturally found in ancient sea salt. These minerals can help maintain electrolyte balance and support hydration during fasting periods. Whether you prefer fine, coarse, or kosher grains, Real Salt® offers options that fit your lifestyle and fasting needs.
