Where to Buy Real Salt: Trusted Brands from Around the World
A curated list of mineral-rich salts
When it comes to salt, what’s on the shelf can either nourish your body, or harm it.
After exposing the truth about refined salt in Salt of the Earth and guiding you through every living, God given mineral in our Salt Catalog, this final piece exists for one reason: to help you find real salt you can trust.
I do not accept payment, ads, or affiliate commissions. This list was chosen based on purity, sourcing, transparency, and personal use.
