When you’re ready to begin your fermenting journey for better gut health and healthier living, you need to use a good salt, one filled with natural minerals that our bodies crave.

Redmond Real Salt doesn’t have to travel thousands of miles from overseas. It comes from the mountains of Utah, closer to home is most of the time the healthier choice.

I’ve used Himalayan Pink Salt when I first began fermenting veggies, which works still better than the typical stripped table salt, but it does have to travel quite a distance to reach us here in America. My top choice is Redmond Real Salt.
