Coarse Grain Real Salt (Not Recommended for Baking)

Why Choose Real Salt for Baking?
Real Salt is unrefined and harvested as nature made it, preserving over 60 trace minerals that contribute to a richer, more complex flavor profile in your baked goods. Unlike processed salts, it is never chemically treated, ensuring a pure and natural seasoning experience.
