Is Your Salt Real? Real Salt means - well, real, authentic salt. A quick glance at the ingredients label on most salts might surprise you! Many salts contain anti-caking agents and even dextrose (sugar). Others have been heat processed and stripped of their natural trace minerals. Real Salt brand, on the other hand, is unrefined and full of natural minerals and flavour. Real Salt is still brought to you in its natural state - without additives, chemicals, or heat processing of any kind. Real Salt's unique pinkish appearance and flecks of colour come from more than 60 naturally occurring trace minerals. The result is a delicate "sweet salt" flavour that you may not have experienced before.
