I first tried Redmond Real Salt about 7 years ago when I was in holistic nutrition school in Berkley at Bauman College. While visiting a classmate’s house I noticed she had bottles of Redmond Mineral Sea Salt all over her kitchen. I noticed the pink color and the salt had more texture than other table salt I had grown up eating. In school I was learning about how the type of salt we eat is so important in order to get more minerals and that natural unrefined salt is actually a super food. When we are eating unprocessed foods such a meat and veggies it is important to add more salt because there is hardly any to start out with. I have been an avid sea salt user ever since and I always get the highest quality I can afford which is why Redmond is the perfect balance of affordability and nutrient density.
Real Salt is the only brand of sea salt harvested from an ancient, pristine ocean near Redmond, Utah. We bring it to you exactly as nature created it – unrefined, ancient sea salt with a complete blend of minerals and a subtle, sweet flavor unlike any salt on earth.
Real Salt contains trace minerals that are processed out of conventional table salt that every cell of our body needs to carry out their vital functions. Ancient cultures prized good salt and fought wars over it because they knew it was so vital to health.
Another thing to think about is the environmental impact of the salt you buy. Himalayan salt comes from 8000 miles away and that takes a heavy toll on the earth. Sometimes the salt mines have unsafe practices that can harm workers. Real Salt owns its mines that contain salt from ancient sea beds in Utah where they have stringent safety practices and even use solar to power there operations.

An overview of some of the essential in sea salt from Dr. Mercola:
There are 84 trace minerals in sea salt that all offer various benefits. Here’s a rundown of five of the most important trace minerals found naturally occurring ancient sea salt.
- Sodium: The body needs it for various functions, as it helps with contracting and relaxing muscles, preventing dehydration and low blood pressure levels and sending nervous system impulses.
- Calcium:13 It’s heralded for its capabilities in protecting heart muscles, building strong bones, gums and teeth, inhibiting the onset of kidney stones, premenstrual depression and obesity, regulating blood pressure levels and promoting a healthy alkaline pH level.
- Magnesium: This is a vital component of the body’s biochemical processes. Magnesium also plays a role in promoting proper formation of bones and teeth, relaxing blood vessels, enhancing muscle and nerve function, regulating blood sugar and insulin sensitivity and promoting creation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) or the body’s energy currency.14, 15
- Iron: It serves in promoting immune system strength and energy production. Iron’s main function, however, lies in hemoglobin production that is an important step in oxygen transportation throughout the body.
- Potassium: Himalayan salt contains higher amounts of potassium compared to other natural and unprocessed salts. This helps your body maintain a balanced potassium-to-salt ratio.

I grew up thinking salt was bad because it is way too excessive in processed foods, but now I know it is necessary and should be a quality ingredient in everybody’s diet.
A tri-tip roast. We are big beef eaters.
What will I make with this seasoning? Food, obviously. haha. Seriously, everything I eat probably. Never shied from salt.
I love Redmond real salt but I have not tried any of the flavored ones, I think I would use them in my veggie side dish stir fry.
I will make salted caramel brownies!
Gonna season my food again!!
Steak
I love Redmond Salts! I actually carry a small jar around with me to work and in my purse so I don’t get stuck having to use iodized salt anywhere. I’ve never tried any of the flavors before, though, and I would love to try seasoning some roasted veggies and fish. Thank you!
I use the salt to season roast chicken.
I use salt on lots of stuff and yep , lets here how to do Keto at Disney!
I just heard about this. Sounds wonderful.
I will use it in most everything I cook and bake. We rarely eat out so I do all our cooking and baking from scratch.
I would use it to make a stir-fry.
I use redmonds for nearly everything. Only tried the plain kind though.

I’ve never heard of this brand of Salt & it makes perfect since to buy USA!!
We have a whole house water softener & Conditioner and I learned these filters remove all the nutrients out of my drinking water, so I’ve been adding 1/8 tsp Himilaian salt to all my glasses of water. (Even house plants need nutrients so I add Epson Salts to their waterings).
Also, PLEASE add a blog on your findings of the Walt Disney World theme park Restaurants. I live two hours away & this information would be very valuable. Thank You.
I will use it in much of my cooking, mostly Cajun dishes. (Gumbos, soups, seafood dishes.)
This sounds amazing!
I’d love this to season chicken!

Seeing the garlic salt, the first thing I think of to make is pork loin roast. Seasoned, nestled on a bed of onions, with coconut animos—yum.
What will I make? Everything! I eat a lot of salt. I love seat salt, especially pink salt.
I would love to try this salt. I have been using Sea Salt, but not sure if this is all that healthy for you or not. I have Thyroid problems so I have been looking for anything that will help with that.
I cook/bake daily & add salt to my family members’ water glasses as we eat low carb.
I would love to make a flavorful yummy roast and potatoes with this seasoning pack !

My gosh, what to make? There is so much stuff you can add these different seasoning too. Meat, Veggies which is one of my new favorite’s! Veggies taste so much better when you add different seasoning to them! Then there are eggs, hmmm making myself hungry!
I’m going to try these on roasted veggies and in some meatloaf. They look really good!
I’m a big fan of quality salt and would use it for everything! Veggies, stir-fries, mixed in when I make my different seasonings!

I’d make everything I normally make with salt. I’d also transfer some to a small container to put in my purse because I do not like the taste of “regular table salt”.
Those look and sound awesome! I think I would make some fresh guacamole and pico de gallo! Perfect for my snacking addiction! 🙂
A very good friend just referred me to this website and to the FB page. I am just starting Keto, so I am sure I will use the Redmond Real Salt in everything!
I am going to make a potato dish and some sauteed veggies with the seasoning.
i would try each one with simpler foods to determine how they’re different. Maybe with cauli-rice. I think the various flavors would enhance it very nicely.
Going to Disney in April…..would love to know your results!
