REDMOND REAL SALT INGREDIENT

We get questions, ha.

A couple of readers have asked what salt we use in cooking.  Well, that is a legit question!

We found this salt a few years ago.  It's called "Redmond Real Salt".

We LOVE it!

Like many chefs and home cooks alike, we use Kosher salt.  Not for any religious reason, but because Kosher salt is a slightly larger granule and not as fine, so it's easier to grab pinches and toss them into cooking.  Kosher salt in general always has a more natural salty flavor and this brand has the added benefit of naturally occurring minerals.  Of course, they sell fine salt as well if you want that and everything from pocket shakers of the salt, to bulk 25 lb bags and everything in between.

Locally, we can only find it at the HEB grocery story chain.  Of course you can buy it on Amazon HERE.

We like it for several reasons.  We like the texture and granule size and it has a rich, great flavor (as salt goes) that's almost sweet.  It's North America's own pink salt as it has a pink hue to it along with the darker colors from the other trace minerals found in it. 

This from their website:

"We think salt should be simple. It shouldn't contain artificial additives or unhealthy pollutants. And it shouldn't be stripped of beneficial trace minerals. It should be sea salt the way nature made it - nothing added, nothing taken away. Redmond Real Salt is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed in Utah where it's safe from modern pollutants. It's pure, unprocessed, and full of trace minerals that give it one-of-a-kind nutritional benefits and a subtly sweet flavor that brings out the best in each bite."

We don't get anything for posting this (though Redmond, if you're listening...LOL).  We just thought we'd share an ingredient we love from our kitchen!
