Discover the Types of Salt in the Box

When it comes to seasoning, the grain size and texture of salt can make a significant difference in flavor and application. Real Salt offers a variety of unrefined, ancient sea salts, each containing over 60 naturally-occurring trace minerals and never processed or chemically treated. Here’s a guide to the different types of salt you might find in a Real Salt box, highlighting their unique uses and benefits.

Fine Salt Varieties: Everyday Versatility

Coarse Salt: Bold Flavor and Texture
