Coarse Grain Real Salt (Not Recommended for Baking)

While Real Salt also offers coarse grain options, these are generally intended for use in grinders and for applications like seasoning pizza, fruit, or seafood. The coarse grains require grinding before use and are less suitable for baking where fine, even salt distribution is needed.

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. The fine grain size options are especially suited for artisan bread and pastry baking, where salt must dissolve evenly and enhance dough development and flavor.
