Salt gets a bad rep. Doctors and everyone else will tell you to cut back on your salt. But ya know what I say? I say to myself, “Self, pass the salt.” And self does.
Really. I have a love affair with salt. And I always felt bad about our relationship. I was a closet salt user. I think food tastes rather bland without it. And when I was pregnant, I ate so much that I should have swollen up like a big bloated balloon.
But I kicked my guilt to the curb when our family started using Redmond Real Salt last year…now I proudly tout my daily use of salt. Please pass the salt. Booya.
For years we’ve heard that salt is terrible for you – it makes you unhealthy. Cut back on it or die. Basically, right? Pish Posh. Self, pass the salt. I’ll just go ahead and tell you that most of what the mainstream medical community tells us doesn’t amount to a hill of beans to me. *Ducking at the thrown stones*
The truth is, salt is ESSENTIAL for life. Salt is needed for the function of our nerves and muscles. The truth is also, that all salts are not the same. So yes, maybe the iodized white salt we buy at the grocery is bad for us…but we’ve found a salt that is NOT bad for us.
We use Redmond Real Salt. And we use it plentifully. Redmond salt comes from a salt mine in Utah – straight to your table.
Real Salt is free of additives unlike most of the salt you’ll find in the store. It’s also full of minerals – minerals your body needs. Did you know that some salts in the store actually contain SUGAR?! Man, they’re trying to sock us full of sugar any time they can.
You’ll see small flecks in your Real Salt – because it’s not bleached and you can see the trace minerals. I like that. Plus, I think it’s pretty…almost like glitter – and I have to take what I can get since Barry has banned glitter from this house.
You don’t have to be ashamed of your salt usage any more – just switch to the good stuff. Salt up those veggies baby!
So, in the spirit of all things frugal, let me go ahead and tell you something – this stuff isn’t cheap. Salt in the store, it’s cheapo.
Redmond will cost you about $6-8/lb. The stuff in the store is like $1 or something. But, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – there is a difference between being cheap and frugal.
Living frugally is being a good steward of what the Lord gives you. If that means that I spend more on salt to give my family the good stuff, then to me that means I’m being a good steward of that grocery budget. Booya. Please pass the salt.
More Than Alive is giving away 1 pound of Redmond Real Salt to one of my readers! Wooooo! To enter, just leave a comment below telling me exactly how you feel about salt. That’s it. 😉 I will take entries until Friday, January 25th at midnight EST.
I just recently found out that salt has a ton of additives!! I am trying Trader Joe’s Sea Salt instead of our regular cheap salt we buy from the grocery store. But not sure how much better that is either! Would love to win this to have great salt for my family!
I love salt the same way you do. If I HAD to choose, I’d rather have salty than sweet.
I would loooove to win this salt! We’ve switched to sea salt, but this looks even better!
I love salt. Actually my daughter and I both love salt. It’s awesome. I would love to try Real Salt. It would definantly make me feel better knowing its good for me.
We use some nice sea salt for making flavored salts in the mortar and pestal. But, when it comes to the table, we love Real Salt, too! I also have some kosher salt that we use for baking because it’s easier to see, but I think I’ll just start using it to clean the cast iron instead. The flavor of the Real Salt is superior. It would be awesome to gain some more. 🙂
I love salt, I put it on just about everything. My husband says that it just covers up the natural tastes of foods but I tend to disagree; I think that it enhances it. I would love to try this salt.
I really like salt.
I love real salt…and celtic sea salt…any salt that is straight from the source, and still has the color. Love that we are getting those trace minerals! I get mine at a co-op much cheaper. So thankful! This is a good article about salt:
http://nogreaterjoy.org/articles/the-good-salt/
I never heard of this salt and would love to try it. So glad to hear there is
good salt out there after all.
I love Redmond salt and am current out until we can afford to buy more so it would be great to get a pound for free!
It would be wonderful to get some Real Salt!!
i love salt! I put salt on my buttered toast! and I agree our bodies need salt, just not the “salt” the sell at the grocery store.
Remember my “last of the hippie” parents I talked about before? They used this salt too. And yes, I love salt too! So… free salt? I’m in! 🙂
I use salt..with Salt,SAlt, and more SALT!! YUMMO! I would LOVE to win! Definately interested and will get some…just not this month…felin the “fiscal blackhole”.
Interesting, never heard of it before and would like to try it. 🙂
I would love to try. I’m trying to eat healthier for the new year.
I love salt. I added some to the water I boiled potatoes in yesterday and then added a bit extra because they needed some extra oomph.
I like salt… my husband really likes salt…. every time it comes up in conversation, he has to say …. “Salt is gooooooooood” and informs all present that what he says is true because it is in the bible…. the bible never lies.
It’s funny because there was a time when I was doing a food diary and realized I actually don’t eat enough sodium. How rare is that?
I make almost all of our meals, breads, desserts, etc, from scratch, so salt is my friend! I would LOVE to try Redmond Real Salt. I’ve read so many good things about it. Thank you for this chance to win! 🙂
YES I WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS SALT!
I’d love to have a pound of salt to use. We do use it already and it would be wonderful to have a pound I didn’t have to purchase. : )
I typically use sea salt cuz I thought it was good for you. This sounds wonderful. Would love to try it!
I love salt! Bring it on 🙂
I would LOVE to try Redmond Real Salt! Both the husband and I have been trying to eat a lot healthier, including getting low-sodium options when we can. This would make me so VERY happy!
This sounds great and totally something we would like to try as we are moving to more whole unprocessed foods and everything from scratch. Thanks for the info! Would love to try it!
I would love to try Redmond Real Salt! I love salt. It is the bomb. But would definitely like to try a really healthy, no junk added, option! Thank you!
Salt that’s good for us! I can’t wait to try it.
I have heard SO many great things about this salt! I would love to try it. I especially like that is is not bleached, I don’t bleach my clothes, why would I bleach my salt! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Redmond Real Salt! I’ve been using their products for about two years now. 🙂
The toothpaste they make is AMAZING, seriously. If you’re looking for a really healthy, no junk or gunk or chemicals kind, that’s where it’s at.
The only very tiny bummer is their salt isn’t iodized, so to make sure you still get the all important iodine you need to take a supplement. Vitacost has a liquid one for like $8 that the dose is only 3 drops. Makes it easy to take & give to my 2 year old. 🙂
We get our iodine from dairy, eggs, and hamburger. 🙂
Who, thanks for the link! I didn’t know that those foods are such good sources. 🙂
Hey, I am about and all about real! Real food, real pure, real concentrated! I LOVE real! I have real stuf all over the house and my family is used to it to the point they don’t even ask questions anymore they just use what I put I front of them, but, this is the first time I’ve heard of ReAl SaLt. And I want some!
Your blog is totally Real and that’s why I read it! Pass the Real Salt Baby!
Diane Knickerboker
I would love the chance to try Real Salt. I have been using sea salt. Thanks for the opportunity.
Love me some salt, bring it on!
I would LOVE to try Real Salt!!!
I am currently using Redmond Real Salt and love it. Would love it even more if it was free!
I didnt know you could buy “real salt.” Man, I’m so behind times…I need to start researching everything we are eating! I love me some salt on everything…but especially WATERMELON! YUMM!
Thank you for such a great tip. I have never ate a lot of salt but there are certain foods that have to have it. We all know hatural foods are so much better than processed. So of course a necessary mineral such as salt should be viewed the same way. I will be making this change in my pantry.
Salt is one of the few seasonings that I enjoy. We just switched to real salt also!
In the words of my husband’s great-grandmother, “A little fresh salt never hurt nothing!” We use it generously!
We gave never quit the salt habit at our house and ignored what “they say” but I would love to try real salt. I have read and seen good things about it. : )
I’ve been told I eat way too much salt. This would be a better alternative to try 🙂
The older I get, the more sensitive I am to foods that are overly salty. I think salt should enhance the flavor of food, not impart a salty flavor. Does that make sense? Hope to try Real Salt and taste the difference.
So, as I’m reading this post I instantly start getting pumped!!! After reading the first few sentances, it is clear, I am also a “closet salt user”. That’s not what I was getting pumped up about, however, your basically telling us, like you always do, that as long as its the RIGHT ingredient-in this case salt- its not as bad for you as “they” say. THEN I read I could win a whole pound of it?? IM IN!! 🙂
It’s an every meal thing for me. As I’m raising the roof on my blood pressure, my husband is pouring on the guilt. My kids are even starting to catch on to my bad habits and they are sounding more and more like their father! I’ve come to the point where I will keep and salt my plate IN the kitchen after everyone else is seated at the table, just so they don’t see me. Sheesh, it’s not a crime! .. Is it?? It’s awesome to know I’m not alone. I might be in denial, but who isn’t!? 😉 it’s also awesome to know there is a BETTER salt out there. and for that I thank you! 🙂
I do like salt but healthy non-contaminated salt. Sea salt is so delicious. Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve spent so long avoiding salt, the NOT real stuff, that this sounds wonderful! We are slowly switching over to more and more real foods, so this would be an awesome help! Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Oh and I’ve been told numerous times that I use way too much salt! Love the stuff!
I love salt! I have never heard of “real” salt. We use kosher or sea salt because I like the flavor better, but I’d be really interested in trying this!
I didn’t know there was such a thing. I’m sure it’s not available in grocery stores in my area. I thought sea salt was real salt. Thanks for the info, very interesting. Would love to try it!
We’ve switched to mostly sea salt around here, but I’ve been interested in this product and would love to try it! And I’m with you, I think the real salt is pretty. 😉
I never knew salt was bleached. Huh. I learn so many interesting thinhgs from your blog! Thanks!
I use a different brand of sea salt but I’ve heard good things about Real Salt and would love to try it. Thanks!
I like salt and use it and would love to try this Natural Salt – I usually only use sea salt but I am open to anything natural.
salt without guilt!!! Love it! I will have to check it out!
I use pink Himalayan sea salt. And regular sea salt. I learned in home ec (see, I am old–I took home ec), that if you cook with salt, you end up using less than you would if you add it after cooking. It seasons the food better. So I have always used salt. But I am interested in trying the real salt you posted about. Please, pass the salt!
I would love to have a chance at this Real Salt. I have heard about the benefits and my husband has high blood pressure. I have started using less salt to no salt in ours meals which makes them not very appetizing. How nice it would be to enjoy this gift.
Jessica
Salt is one of God’s greatest inventions. I too am a guilty member of the “always salt before tasting” club. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to try Redmond salt. You are the 4th person to talk about it…and I love my salt too. Please pass it..
We use salt very regularly and plenty of it. My husband was told to cut his intake but that hasn’t happened. I have not tried real salt as I thought all salt was about the same. I will check now. We have been using sea salt more but this sounds even better. Sounds like it could become a standard.
I would absolutely love to try real salt.!
We like salt here.
I just switched us to Real Salt. We love it!
Amen, sista! I love Redmond Real salt, too! We purchased a twenty-five pound bag just last year! I love to give it away, so others can benefit from it as well. Thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!
Pass the salt!
It is a fairly new subject to me and am very much looking forward to “testing the waters” so to speak! Please enter me in your drawing! Thank you so much! Cheeryshirley
I would love to try this. I have never seen it in the store (and honestly didn’t really know about it.) I guess I need to do more of my shopping online.
My dear hubby LOVES salt. I love it a little less, but I would love it more if it I knew it was good for me. Revolutionary!
I don’t like salt. But I am weird. Actually I probably should eat more salt – my bp is ridiculously low. I like salty snacks. But I just cannot do salty meals. I don’t even add the salt in most recipes. As I said, I am weird.
We like Real Salt and would love to win some. My kids call it dirty salt.
Our house uses salt from Redmond. We also use their toothpaste. A real salt makes all the difference.
Love salt…and I use it proudly whenever I can!
I love sea slat and would like to try this product.
We LOOOVE real sea salt at our house! Not the processed stuff! 😉
Me too! Been using Real Salt for years!
As an “older” lady that loves a little salty flavor, this is great news!!
We LOVE Real Salt!!
I Would really love to try this out before buying such a pricy product. Love that little shaker!!
I have switched to Kosher salt and use it in almost everything. I would love to try Real Salt. The further away from processing the better I like it.
I have been wanting to try REAL Salt for a while. I recently began using Redmond Clay and love it. Using Redmond Real Salt would be the next step for me. I have been hearing over and over again how good it is for you and I can’t wait to try it.
I will definitely try Real Salt. I have noticed that I have replaced “Dave Ramsey says…” with “Stacy says…” in many of the conversations with my hubby. Thanks for everything – I have learned so much from your blog. I have yet to have a recipe that my picky family didn’t like.
LOL Oh no!!!
I’ve always loved salt and ignored those saying that it is bad for us, because it just doesn’t make any sense. I buy Real Salt and you’re right, it’s expensive, but you can tell a difference in the taste and know that it won’t hurt you like the chemically made, bleached, cheap salt in the grocery store.
I would love to try REAL salt. I have been reading about it but have put off buying it because of the price.
I’ve been wanting to take the plunge and switch to real salt. My husband salts everything..before he even tastes it..ugh! I’d prefer he at least be getting some minerals too!
I usually only use salt for baking, but my husband uses it more often than I do. I wonder if using real salt would change the amount needed in a recipe. It would be good to try.
I use salt, too. I don’t buy the stuff with sugar in it. I want SALT when I buy salt.
I like salt. 🙂
Real salt is always available for my family to season meals. I don’t use too much in cooking; we prefer to let each person choose. I also think that if you listen to your body, you’ll adjust your salt intake to your needs. Another great post, and cute salt shakers, too.
I would love to try Real Salt. Thank you for the opportunity!
I think real salt is great and fake/additive salt is horrid. I do limit my kids’ intake of salt because I don’t want them to develop a ‘taste’ since most accessible salt outside of our home is in the horrid category.
There are certain foods that I just cannot eat without salt. I too heard the guilt trip about how bad salt is for me until I discovered real food. However, I hadn’t yet figured out which was the “best” salt to use. I currently use a Himalayan salt that is in my house. Next year I’ll be going to college and will be cooking most of my meals there. I’ve been trying to decide what salt to bring and this one seems great!
I really like salt. I think like the Bible says “everything in moderation”. Salt is important for our bodies.
I’ve trained myself to like my food with very little salt but I love the idea of using natural salt.
I’ve never been afraid of salt, but we just started using Real Salt a couple of months ago and now I feel good giving it to my family!
We are not really big salt users, but things would be pretty bland without any. Would love to try healthier salt.
I love real salt!
I have loved salt since I was a child and used to sneak off with the salt shaker and a tomato. I don’t care, I like salt, I like salty food. I will cook without salt to spare my family, but when that food goes in front of me it is loaded. I have tried Himalayan salt of various sorts and I like it. A new brand of salt? Oh please, oh please, PICK ME!
Love salt! Would love to win!
Confessed salt a holic here. Everyone tells me I use waaaay too much of it, but I love it and would love to try Real Salt. Hope I win some…
I’ve been trying to get my Mother-in-law to add ‘real’ salt into her diet. She has gone overboard in erasing all salt from her food and I’m sure some of her ailments would improve if she added the good stuff back in! Thanks for helping get the word out there 🙂
I LOVE salt, so when I heard about, and subsequently switched over to, Redmond Salt, I stopped feeling guilty about all of the salt I use (and it really is a lot). It’s worth the extra cost!
I use sea salt without worrying about health problems. I can’t necessarily say the same thing when I use the iodized salt. I’m definitely interested in learning more about the differences!
I am excited to hear about this. My daughter and I have been trying to make changes in our eating habits and now we learned today to use REAL SALT. Thank you so much for your emails. Maishelle L King
I love salt too. I have low blood pressure and my Dr. told me when I start to feel rundown, due to my low BP to eat a can of Campbell s Veg. Soup. I don’t – I just UP my salt intake. I have even added a little salt to my cold beverage during the hot summer so for extra salt.
I switched to sea salt – but would love to try the real salt.
Lets hear it for SALT!!!! 🙂
I love Redmans salt. I got in when I purchased a bundle ego ok special and never knew salt could be so good. Yum Yum
I season with salt liberally! Have never tried this salt but would love to win! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
I am a fan of salt as well and totally agree that it is wise to purchase the natural stuff. We need the minerals that salt provides but not all the added extra stuff that you find in the store or iodized salt.
I’m not huge salter, but have been thinking lately that I would like to be using something other than my fine white $1 variety!
I love salt! We generally use the yucky white stuff & sometimes use kosher. I didn’t know this stuff even existed! Thanks for opening my eyes to better things!
I have been wanting to get real salt for a long time now, but just haven’t made it back to the bulk store since I read about it. This would be awesome!
We love Real Salt here, too. Although sometimes I buy a container of the Hain Pure Foods Sea Salt b/c some weeks the price of Redmond seems just too much. Does anyone if there’s any detriment to using the Hain non-iodized sea salt occasionally? Ingredients are sea salt and calcium silicate (anti-caking agent).
Just had the opportunity to try several of their product samples! Love salt on most anything. Pass the REAL salt! thanks!
Dear Stacy,
I, too, enjoy salt. I don’t cook with it, but it is on our table to add individually. A doctor once told me that salt does not give you high blood pressure, but IF you have high blood pressure, you should watch the amount of salt you consume.
Do you know if iodine is in the Redmond Real Salt?
Kindest greetings,
Deidre
Deidra, it has naturally occurring iodine – but not a sufficient amount for our bodies…so we choose to get our iodine from things like yogurt, strawberries, and mozzarella cheese instead of buying salt where it’s an additive. 🙂
I am a salt lover also. I would love to try the Redmond salt! I have heard that their products are very good.
Love redmond’s salt – it does take some time to get used to the minerals in your food – they do not disolve. Also like redmond’s toothpaste.
we love salt, especially on roasted chicken. ive never had the real stuff though…
I love salt! We have been using Sea Salt and would love to try Real Salt!
I too am a salt-a-holic and am frequently told I use too much… Love using Redmond salt and getting all the natural minerals and unprocessed goodness of salt to flavour my food.
We love real Salt and we use this Redmond Real Salt as well!
Luv real salt. I find it @Meijer. Love the stuff!
I love your posts! I will definately pay better attention to my salt the next time!
I can hardly wait to give REAL Salt a try. Certain family members like extra salt, and I’d like my family to have the natural item.
Ok, so I like salt. Shew, there I said it..Not like a crazy put it on everything amount, just a tad here and there ..although my husband on the other hand doesnt use it. And the shaker never comes out. And I mean never. So you can imagine the convincing I will need to do here. Thank you for the info on healthy salt. Would love to try the Redmond Real Salt, but am not sure I can get hubby on board to use it if I did purchase.:(
We love salt and would love to try Real Salt.
I’ve totally agree with you on the health benefits of “real salt”. In fact, I’ve been using Himalayan Pink Salt for years now and have recently purchased Hawaiian Black Salt for its high mineral and carbon content, which rids toxins from the body. It tastes better than the Himalayan Pink Salt too! I have yet to try the Utah Salt and planned on buying some during my next visit there this summer, but hopefully I can win it here first! 🙂
I think salt is only bad for us in the quantities that we eat it. And I’m not talking about sprinkling it on our plates or seasoning our homemade food. I’m talking about the huge amounts in processed foods. A pack of ramen noodles, a can of soup, frozen meals, deli meats… All of these have tons of salt. I’ll do my best to skip them, and then give my salt shaker a workout at the stove and table instead, and I’d love to give some of this real salt a try.
I never used salt in cooking and kept it off the table since there was supposed to be so much sodium in prepared foods. But now lo and behold, I am not using prepared foods and have started using it (some) in my cooking. My husband actually feels better when there is some salt in our diet. I would love to start using Real Salt and I could finally let go of my final worry that it is bad for us.
i. love. salt. But because it’s bad for me I use it sparingly, and I switched to sea salt. If this stuff is as good as you say it is, I would LOVE to try it!
Thanks for researching the salt issue!
I love salt and, to be honest, have never even heard of REAL salt! Sounds amazing!
Like many above I have switched to sea salt and haven’t heard of Redmond salt. I’ve replaced a lot of food items for healthier options and regular table salt was the first to go. Headed to their website now to see what I’ve been missing 🙂
Real Salt is fantastic! We have been using the kosher and fine salts for about 5 months and love the taste! We can also feel good about eating it. Redmond Clay is fantastic, too! 🙂
I am intrigued by the clay.
We have used the clay both internally (dissolved in warm water) and externally (on cuts and bruises). It works well to heal minor cuts and wounds, but we haven’t seen it work wonders as described in some of the Redmond literature. However, we have experienced healing by drinking it. As strange as it sounds, we use the clay as our “go-to” remedy now for gas and bloating. It’s also completely cleared my husband’s acid reflux. Prior to the use of clay, he had to use a prescription acid-blocker. The clay has resolved all his acid reflux, even minor flair-ups.
🙁 I wish you had Azure Standard in your area. I pay $2/lb for my Redmond Salt. I but it in 25 lb bags but other people get 5+ lbs, in fact I tell everyone they can only have 5 lbs when I order it. You might look into seeing what the shipping from them is. I doubt it would be $100.
$2.25… I lie.
I’ve spoken with them. In order for them to make this a drop-off point, I would have to be able to have enough people to have a $5,000 order each month – and that’s just not happening. 🙁
Ahhh! Here it is 500 and I can not even get that (we drive 45 minutes so only order every few months).
Closest drop-off is about 2 hours away. 🙁 🙁
I try not to use too much salt in things, but I’d like to give Real Salt a try!
Yum! We just tried Redmond Clay and I would love to try their salt as well.
Last May I had a second stroke and have been told not to use salt
I sure do miss it I would love to try real salt
My blood pressure is fine and my diabetes is under control now
I just recently switched to Real Salt and can sometimes get it at the regular grocery store.
I had no idea traditional salt from the grocery store had all those fillers. But I guess I’m not surprised either! I would love, love, love to try Redmonds Real Salt. I use salt everyday to season our meals since we’ve decided to try to eat more whole foods. Thank you Stacy for your wisdom!!!
Just bought my first shaker of Real Salt not that long ago and I love it. Hoping to change over all the salt my family uses.
I love salt but my honey likes but won’t eat very much he worries that it is bad for him this could just convert him
I have been wanting to switch to real salt so bad. I would love to try it out!
I love Real Salt! I eat as much as I want!!
We use sea salt and have been doing so for several years. I try not to use it too much but my husband is a salt addict so needless to say it’s tough not too. I would love a chance to try “real salt.”
We use sea salt (we are salt lovers), but we have tried real salt. I really loved the taste of real salt when we had it in a Utah restaurant. I think we even bought a small bottle. Thanks for all you do!
Mmm salt! I love real sea salt and only allow it here for my family! It is so true that some things you just have to pay more for, but for the health of my family it’s worth it!!
I use salt in just about everything. I would LOVE to try the Real Salt!
have been convinced for years that salt is good. however trying to find one that tastes right and adds flavor has been a nightmare. i gave up. it was costing us money we didnt have. i dont mind paying more if the product is worth it. i have seen this salt b
but the cost stopped me from trying it.
Stacy – do you know if there’s a reason to ditch Mediterranean-type salts in lieu of Redmonds? Why did you choose this brand over other sea-salt types? I love salt, too!!!!!!!
Redmond says there are a few different kinds of salt that are good for you. 🙂 http://blog.realsalt.com/2010/08/comparing-real-salt-to-himalayan-celtic/ I chose this brand, because I have a thing for US goods. 😉
I have been known to be a salt fiend, too!!! We have been using sea salt for decades, long before it was the “in vogue” foodie thing to do! Since I do not know of this type, I would LOVE to try it out!!
Once you kick the little girl with the umbrella, iodized salt taste, you never go back…….
I have been told by the Dr. that I am pre-diabetic and that my kidney function is low, so this real salt really interests me.
I’ve never tried Real Salt.
Salt is delicious! 😀 I know it’s good for me in moderate amounts & I make almost all my meals at home so I know I’m keeping my intake low without worrying too much about it.
I love salt (but maybe not as much as you). 🙂 would love to try Redmond salt!
I came from a family that used salt. So now that my husband all but bans salt from the house, I miss it and look forward to bringing it back home!!
We only use Real Salt here. Love it!
How do I feel about salt? I use sea salt and kosher salt. I love it! Especially on roasted veggies. Have never tried this particular salt and would like to give it a try.
I am not afraid of using salt and I have a nutrition degree! I agree with you though the cheap stuff that most people use is horrible. We always use Real Salt. It’s funny though – when my parents come to my house, they won’t use our salt because of the way it looks. Ugh! Nothing will convince them that it is way better for them.
Our family loves salt!
I use real salt from Redmond as well. Your not kidding when you say it is not cheap but you can’t put a price on your families health. It is the real deal and comes from the USA. You can’t get any better than that!
Have never tried this kind of salt before, I do not like table salt at all. Would like to try.
I use mostly sea salt, but I’d love to try Real Salt!
Do you think this is good for someone on a low salt diet? I think I would like to try this and see.
I would most certainly try! 🙂
I would love to try, can only get morton salt where I live
Salt RULES! I tried cutting back once (under medical supervision for something else)….when the bloodwork came back from my 2 week hiatus from salt, I was told never to do that again because my sodium levels dropped below normal. So take THAT, ‘mainstream medical community’!!! =)
We switched from iodized to sea salt years ago when I had heart problems and was put on a drug that drops my blood pressure so to keep my bp up I eat salt all day and salt everuthing. I actually think I have a salt wasting disorder that the doctors cannot catch. So far salt and this drug I am on has saved me. I would love to give this salt a try.
We use sea salt and sparingly! We use to eat out a lot (salt content is outrageous) and due to financial reasons, me wanting to be a good homemaker and my husbands high blood pressure I started cooking at home all the time. Guess what, due to homecoming and no more fast salt food my husband no longer has high blood pressure and is at an average 125-128/65 pretty good for a guy who’s dr told me there was nothing we could do but give RX meds!
I LOVE salt! Although I have been on the search to switch from “fake” salt to a more wholesome kind.
Salt and pepper are my main seasonings, so we use quite a bit of salt. We currently use sea salt, but I’ve heard lots about how good this salt is, so we’d love to try it!
Since my blood pressure is a little high, I have been trying to cut back on salt…ugh. I would LOVE to try this!
We also have switched to real salt after reading and learning how the salt in the store is not real. Thanks to the Lord for giving us the correct foods if only we will find them. Our 4 boys really like to salt vegs, so using the real stuff makes us feel good.
I would love an opportunity to try that salt… We only use sea salt or kosher salt at this point but I miss the “flavor” of just salt…
We LOVE Redmond salt! I gave it as Christmas gifts 🙂
We use sea salt.
I too suffered what felt like an adulterated relationship with salt, but thankfully I have come in to the light 🙂 I order Celtic gray in bulk, but I would love to try some Redmon’s! I also LOVE that you said, “there is a difference between being cheap and frugal.” SO TRUE. thanks!
I tried some Redmond real salt and I noticed it tastes better than cheapie salt! I love that it is colorful so I get odd looks when I show guests where the salt is lol
I am an absolute salt-a-holic! I am pregnant and still can’t kick the salt shaker to the curb. People always say ‘you shouldn’t use so much salt’ and I tell them ‘I don’t have high blood pressure, and I am not retaining water, so why should I stop?!?!’ This comment usually stops the nagging!
I LOVE salt! I have enjoyed the real salt that you let me try and would love some for FREE! Pick me, pick me! 🙂
I love salt! I drink ALOT of water, and add a sprinkling of salt to most of it throughout the day. I would love the opportunity to try out some good stuff! 🙂
When I visited Jordan I brought back sea salt from the Dead Sea and I love it, but it will soon run out. This real salt sounds great and I will probably try it next.
I love salt! We use it in moderation here and I have just started really seeing the benefits of adding more minerals to my diet. Real Salt sounds awesome!
Salt makes everything taste better! Even chocolate and that’s saying something….
I LOVE salt, but I have never tried Real Salt!
Our family of 7 loves salt! We use sea salt and pink Himalayan salt and would love to try real salt! I’m sure it would be SALTALICOUS!
I love real salt, too. Molly
Wow, my eyes are again opened. Learning new things all the time. I will put Redmonds salt on my grocery list and give it a try. I do love salt, and never figured that anything was added…..duh. Thanks!
I always cook fresh unprocessed foods so I add salt to everything. I love a good salty snack too…
But I agree, it needs to be real salt not bleached and sugary. Would love to win this salt. 🙂
I would love to try real salt. I am trying to revamp the way my family eats, this would be a great start.
I first heard that (REAL) salt was vital to our bodies when I was pregnant with my first kiddo. If one is cooking with non-processed whole foods, bring on the salt! Otherwise the food would be terrible, yuck.
I love salt on certain items, watermelons, apples, etc. Will add small amounts while cooking but never salt afterwards. I would love to try Redmans Natural Salt and plan on buying some even if I don’t win the freebie. My body could use the extra minerals as well as hubby’s.
We currently only use “table salt” for craft projects and making play dough! I found some Celtic Sea Salt and have been using that, but would be really interested in learning more about Redmans Natural Salt! Thank you for spreading the word, and I am with you…PASS THE SALT!!
I never win anything but hey, it’s always fun to keep trying, huh?! 🙂
I learned about sea salt a couple of years ago….. made the switch and never looked back. It just tastes so good!
Blessings,
Janet… who thought about you the other day while in town running errands with my oldest daughter. We went to McDonald’s for a coffee. A medium coffee here is $1.79! Large? $2.29!
We both got a small and grumbled plenty about it…..
all that to say I’m still jealous! I even flirted with the idea of calling their corporate office and complaining! (yeah, I like their coffee that much…. pathetic!)
I love the Redmond’s sea salt. It makes everything taste so delicious and the more the better!
We LOVE REAL Salt – it tastes sooooo much better that the old white stuff (which has now been relegated to the only-for-cleaning-cast-iron pile…). Everything tastes better with REAL salt!! Especially veggies & eggs!
I love this Real Salt from Redmond. I went to a natural doctor and he said that it actually improves our health to eat a Tbsp of this salt a day because of all the minerals that it contains so I agree with you! Pass the salt!
We’ve been using salt a lot more since we switched to sea salt and real salt! I love it. I often put the salt on my husbands’ dinner too since he still tends to skimp on it. 🙂
I quit salting my meals awhile back because my husband is a default salter–it goes in before tasting no matter what! I am definitely looking into this, because I would feel so much better having salt I feel good about!
Using salt with minerals instead of empty table salt is one of the easiest things you can do to be healthier. We use real salt too 🙂
The moderate use of salt is essential for life. The problem is our society drifts to extremes. Overuse of salt in snacks on one hand, “experts” tell you to go salt free on the other. It’s crazy. We alternate between using pink salt and iodized sea salt in our house. I discourage salty snacks (not always successful, I admit) and salt food as needed.
I’ve wondered from time to time about this, but your post today is the first I’ve read about it. Thank you for taking the time to put this information together. I’m live in UT and it was fun trivia to find out that Real Salt is in my own “back yard”. I look forward to trying it for the first time, and thank you again for the heads’ up on price! I had no idea!!
We love salt in my house, and I don’t put any restraint on its use like I do sugar. We recently changed to real salt, and I feel so much better feeding my family like the Lord intended, instead of packed full of poisons.
I have never heard of “Real Salt” before but I do my fair share of cooking and baking and it would be nice to have a healthly alternative to what they call salt in the grocery stores.
I have never heard of Redmonds either. I try to cut down on my salt by using sea salt, but it is HARD. Man, I love salt. I have been taken in by the no-salt thing too because of blood pressure, but now I wonder. I”d really like to try the Redmond’s, cause I think most of the (don’t eat it) is all blooey.
I can’t cook without salt….love it!
We are using sea salt, but I would love to try the salt from Utah!
I LOVE salt, as long as it’s REAL-SALT:)
Hi, I just started to use sea salt because I want to use better salt for my family. I have never heard of Redmonds and would love to try it!!!
All things in moderation. Salt is a definite flavor enhancer. We use sea salt, but I would love to try this.
I love salt, and we recently switched to sea salt. (I had no idea that table salt was bleached!) I’d love to try Real Salt!
I love salt! My hubs has a little bit of a hypertension issue, and every time he gets it checked he tells me I need to lay off the salt… I tell him my blood pressure is just fine! and then I salt a little more 🙂
Love salt! I’ve been using a Himalayan pink salt lately which is really tasty and has the minerals in it as well. It was a Christmas gift from my mom, who shares my love of salt
I always use salt but have never tried Real Salt.
I’d love to try Real salt! We’re fans of salt, especially my husband, and we’ve been using sea salt, but never this stuff 🙂
I agree with Rebekkah that God must be a fan for the exact reason 🙂 Why would God tell us to be something toxic to the world? 🙂
We also use Real Salt. I love it and use it liberally. My hubby is afraid of salt still, but I’m working on him… 🙂
I LOVE salt! I have never been afraid to use it. I have been buying sea salt. So much better than the cheaper stuff. My Nana used salt like there was no tomorrow. We use to tease her. When she would sprinkle salt on her food at the table, we would tell her that it looked like it was snowing. She would laugh. 🙂 She lived to be 95 yrs young. I would love to try real salt. Anything to improve my family’s health. 😀
I love salt but know I shouldn’t. I am not sure if some is really better for you, but I love smoked salts and salts mixed with herbs and salt grinders…and french fries. I also really love french fries.
We switched to a much healthier diet due to my daughter’s chronic health problems, but I didn’t even know there WAS such a thing as real salt! Would love to try some!!
I am new to the whole foods way of eating, and I’d LOVE to try real salt! Thank you, Stacy!
As I learn more and more about cooking, I discover that salt is the universal flavor enhancer. I agree, bring on the salt!
I generally considered salt as a necessary evil–until I received some samples of Redmond Real Salt a couple of months ago. Now I’m happy to put the salt shaker on the table and even occasionally salt my own food (previously unheard of for me). Thanks for doing this giveaway!
I love salt, but I never bothered to know what the difference was between any of them. Thank you for this post! I will definitely try this 🙂
I am a recent convert to Real Salt… And love it!
I have never heard of this before~ I think it sounds wonderful and it has made me want to do more reading on ” Real Salt”
I don’t “love” salt, but I’ve been recently gravitating towards your view- that it’s not “bad” for us, if it’s the right kind. I would LOVE to have an opportunity to try this salt instead of the stuff we use!
We love Real Salt! The cost is somewhat shocking for my husband, but when I showed him how much better it is for us, he was on board!
I hear ya about the salt! I love to bring out flavors that regular herbs & spices can’t do without salt. I’ve never heard about Redmond Real Salt it would really be interesting to try! and Yes, there is a big difference between frugal and cheap! =)
We use a lot of salt here. I must confess that I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to this. We do buy sea salt, but that is as “healthy” as we have gone…I didn’t really know there was another option.
i have never been afraid of salt and i use it; yes, i get tired of friends complaining how “salty” my food is–while taking second helpings LOL
but my food IS much tastier than my no-salt friends’ food ;0)
am putting my name in the hat for Redmans Natural Salt….use this type of natural of salt (altho not Redmans) and love the taste; it comes out cheaper, actually, b/c you don’t use as much
I love REAL salt. I switched about 6mo ago. I find I have to use less too!
My husband had a large stroke in May and we are doing everything to try to eat as healthy as possible, and that meant
A very salt-restricted diet. I’ve never heard of
A salt like this before and am going to try it.
I love salt! I put salt on practically everything and I’m always looking for healthier salt options.
I’d love some Real Salt!
I like to use a good quality salt for my family 🙂
We had a speaker in our church a couple of years ago hold up a chunk of real salt in his hand. I was the only 1 who knew what it was since that is the only salt we use in our house for the past 3 years.
We love salt around here. Unsalted food is just so bland to me. One question, how would this work fir baking?
It’s the only salt I use now and it works great!
I agree! We don’t eat close enough to the source! I think there is a reason why illnesses and diseases exist today that didn’t exist in ages past. We are processing, pasturizing, and killing the very food sources that God put here for us! If there is a more basic and natural way to do something, count me in. And Stacy- I’m with ya- I don’t trust most of the medical community or media, either. We’re not crazyLet’s just go with basic, common sense. Bring on the salt- and the butter!
Hi I cant wait to get Real Salt. I had no idea that salt was baf from the store!! Thank you for your posts!!
I don’t use a lot of salt but my hubby and daughter do. They use a lot the iodized table salt but I’d like them to try something that is better for them.
I love salt. There isn’t much that I don’t use it on.
I love salt and we are going to try the Redmond’s Real Salt. Sounds good to me!
We LOVE salt in our family. We have been using sea salt for quite some time now, but have never heard of real salt. We would love the opportunity to try it!
I have reduced my use of salt simply because I have reduced the use of processed food. I would love to try a healthy salt that tastes good and isn’t precessed.
I love salt! We use sea salt. Thanks for a chance to win!
I am the one in the family who thinks that “a little dab will do ya” when it comes to salt. However, other family members really like the salt shaker. I am very interested in Redmond real salt. Thanks for this giveaway opportunity.
I LOVE me some salt!!!!
I love the idea of Real Salt and I’m skeptical of the cheap stuff at the grocery store. However, I just don’t know if it’s one of those things I should pay 8 times as much for!
I do not use a lot of salt (hubby has high blood pressure) but this Redmond’s Real salt sounds really awesome! I will try to find it locally in case I am not the winner! Thanks, Stacy!
I LOVE salt! I have always used salt from the grocery store, but recently (following my doctor’s advice), I gave up the salt habit. I do miss me some salted cukes and tomatoes! Perhaps I will give Redmond a try! Thanks!
I bought redmonds in some deal where I got a “starter” pack of their regular salt, seaoned salt and garlic salt! What a difference! My husband used it and said “Woah! What is this awesome stuff? Ha! I told him it was the REAL STUFF:)
Personally, if it did not come with salt, I don’t miss it. I do have a friend who has recently been diagnosed with very high blood pressure and he is not supposed to be eating any extra salt. If the cheapo kind at the stores has sugar, that would be why people are so addicted to it? He is, my parents both had the same condition and I just never used salt unless in canning or it is in something I use, eating out, of course things are salted, too much for my taste. But, the friend could use a whole shaker at a meal!!! I would love to win some of this type to see if it impacts his blood pressure any, the minerals would also be good with the diuretics washing out the trace minerals, I would think. Well, thanks either way! Something to investigate…
We love salt and like the Real Salt!
We only use Real Salt here. We love it! We aren’t afraid of salt 🙂
I love salt and use it on most things, its my main seasoning. I’d love to try the Redmans Natural Salt, I need all the minerals I can get and to be able to get them naturally is a bonus for me.
Love your site!
I totally agree with you Stacy about salt. Bring on the salt!
I’ve heard about this salt on other blogs too, but wasn’t sure if my family could make it work in our budget. I’m convinced its a better deal (b/c its leaps and bounds better nutrition-wise)but my hubby is not convinced- maybe this free giveaway would be the perfect chance to convince him!!!!! 🙂
I think I am going to trot on up to my local natural store and see what they have for real salt. The people that work there are so helpful. I stopped a day or so ago and picked ups up some quinoa that my family is going to try out for the first time day.
Love ready your posts your an inspiration to many.
I love salt and so do my boys. I have tried to limit our intake of salt. If there is a natural healthy version…then by all means, “Pass the salt!”
I love salt. I think God must love salt, too. Otherwise would He tell us to be “salt” and light? 🙂 We try to use sea salt but it is probably highly processed, too. I like it because it tastes saltier. Lol!
I am married to a salt junkie. He butters bread and then salts it, even if the butter was salted. I’ve learned to like salt since being married to him and it really does make things taste better. I would love to try this one. Thanks!
We are salt lovers in our family! I would love to try a healthy alternative 🙂
I have never heard of Redmond, but am very curious. I recently started a quest to get myself and my family on track for more healthy eating; this would be quite a bonus for me to win. And anything that assists me in showing my loved ones that “real” food tastes good would be beneficial, as well. Ooooh, ooohm, pick me, pick me! ::waves hand in the air::
I always cook with salt and usually use sea salt but I might have to try REAL salt. 🙂
I LOVE SALT and freely admit it. I switched to sea salt a few years back, but have no idea if that did me any good. My husband, the physician assistant, says salt is not a problem for folks unless they have high blood pressure. No hbp? Pass the salt!
I love salt! We always use kosher since it has less sodium but I would love to get my hands in a good salt like this!
I have to use salt in cooking- my from scratch food is far too bland without it! I currently use Himalayan sea salt but would live to try this!
We use a lot of sea salt but I would LOVE to try this. We are trying to switch over to healthier food options.
We have switched from regular table salt to using sea salt in our foods. There is something about that that just makes me feel better for my family. I hope I’m doing the right thing. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of ‘Real Salt’ before, but I would love to give it a try…:)
Thank you for having this giveaway for us, Stacy!
I am not a big salt user, I actually don’t care for the taste, well minus tomatoes,you HAVE to salt your mater.;) I do however use salt while cooking but I have never tried real salt.
I have never heard of Redmonds and I would love to try it–I usually use sea salt since I’ve heard that the cheap salt is not “real” salt your body needs. I also use the Trader Joe’s pink salt(the spelling escapes me right now of the country it comes from) when I can get to TJ’s. Thanks for letting me know about this.
We started using sea salt a few years ago. The looks and lectures I got! We found another way to get our iodine and use the store salt for crafts! It’s what it’s best for. We’d love to try this Real Salt.
We lover salt too, especially the “real” kind. We also LOVE the folks at More Than Alive!
Our family LOVES salt; my husband especially. We put salt on everything but have never tried Real Salt before. Would love the opportunity!
i *heart* real salt for everything and use it liberally!
I am so glad to hear of and learn about real salt!
I have been trying to end my love affair with salt for years. I love the stuff! I would really love to try the natural, unprocessed version.
I too am a closet salt lover. :-D. I generally buy kosher but would love to try the “real” stuff.
Like you, I am very much a “pass the salt” type of person. I have used Redmond’s before, and do like it. It is hard to get at the local stores here so sometimes I use unrefined sea salt instead.
We use Real Salt, too. Other salt now just tastes bland and strange. 🙂
We LOVE salt. I would love to have some that is good for me! It would make the hubby happier!
I love salt! I am not an eater of sweets, though I do indulge occassionally. I cook all our food with salt, pepper, and then whatever my mind can concoct, and rarely does anyone “reseason” my meals. 🙂 I would like to try an alternative to table salt, however, since I am plagued with HBP.
I completely agree with you on most info that comes from the medical community. I use real salt but not REAL Salt so I’d love to try the brand! Hope I’m the winner.
I love real salt and it is all I use…I have a salt grinder too because sometimes I get the salt in bigger chunks 🙂
I love Real Salt. We made the switch about 6 months ago and we love it!
I totally agree! Isn’t there some saying that includes “the salt of life” or something like that?! Everything I cook has salt, it even makes sweets taste better 🙂 So you know it has to be good!
I would love to try using real salt..I use kosher but this is new to me..would love to change over..
I LOVE IT. Food would be so boring without it!
My husband and I switched to real salt a few months ago, and we love it! At first he wasn’t convinced that the price was worth it, but I told him about all the good things in it (and lack of bad things), and had him taste our “normal” salt and then the real salt side by side, and he was amazed at the difference! Literally, sometimes I catch him sprinkling some in his hand just to lick it :-). I love being able to salt my food without feeling guilty.
I use salt in everything I boil. It makes potatos taste better, and pasta and veggies; however, I had no clue that Redmonds was out there. May be heading to my local health food store at lunch to see if I can find some.
As always, Thanks Stacey for teaching me to be a good steward.
We use the same salt and really like it. We get ours at Vitamin Cottage. Thanks for the chance to win! BTW I second the ban on glitter in my house. It is way too messy to deal with! 🙂
Would love to try “Real Salt”. I use Himalayan sea salt all the time. I love salt!!!
I LOVE salt. In fact noone will share popcorn with me because I put so much on. If I could find salt that is good for me that would be great.
We use REAL salt too! It was such a revelation to learn the truth about salt. After all those years of trying to cut back, now I look at it as an essential addition to our food and feel good about it! 🙂 I buy mine here:
5# for $13.95 + shipping https://stores.myregisteredsite.com/user1367716/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SBNF&Category_Code=1000B20R
If you go to http://www.saltworks.com you can get 5# of Himilayan pink salt for $19 postpaid. They have TONS of other kinds of unrefined salts too. I’ve ordered from them 3 times now and am very happy with the service.
I just barely heard of Real Salt last month and I was intrigued. It seems logical to me that all of the other foods that we have “purified and refined” and made white are bad for us (sugar, flour,etc) and so probably the same can be said for salt!
After my last blood work, I was actually told I should eat more salt. I do not naturally consume a lot of salt. I wonder if my body would use this better.
Never heard of this salt but would love to try it. Thanks
I do not like the taste of salt but use salt in cooking. Do you use less of the Redmonds than regular table salt?
Yes, I do. 🙂
I love salt and in fact would take salty over sweet any day. I’d love to give Redmonds Real Salt a try as I’ve never had it before.
I carry packets of Redmond Salt around in my purse, and have been known to infiltrate other’s meals with my travel size container of salt (Shhh!). But it’s SO good!
Woo Hoo! I love salt! I’ve been researching different types of salt.. haven’t come across this yet! Thanks 🙂
I love my salt, too!! I use kosher salt for all my cooking/baking and sea salt for my table salt (which I rarely need since I cook with so much!) I would love to try out this salt!
Our pediatrician wants 3 our my kids to get more salt in their diet. I’d love to try Redmond’s. Thanks for a chance to win.
I too love salt! But, I buy the good stuff. Yes, it cost more but my family is worth it. What an awesome give a way!
both my husband and i have been placed on low-salt diets by our doctors, but everything tastes so bland without at least some salt. would love the chance to try a salt that is actually healthy for us!
thank you for sharing!
I LOVE salt! But, I use the cheapo stuff from the store — I didn’t know better til I read this post!
We love RealSalt and use nothing but this! It has helped my husband bloodpressure issues. 🙂
I feel that salt is good for us, regardless of what popular belief is. I love the taste of Real Salt on my veggies along with my real butter!
I LOVE salt! I always have and always will. I used to sneak and eat salt by itself when I was little. My husband has high blood pressure & won’t hardly eat salt (on the advice of his doctor) and minimizes the salt our 7 year-old son is eating (who loves salt just like his Mom). I would love to win the 1 lb bag to try but since I seldom win anything I may just have to buy some for myself. I’m so glad one of my friends recommended your site to me. I’ve really enjoyed it!
This is THE ONLY salt I use. I have been known to take my little bottle of it to restaurants on those rare occasions we eat out! For anyone who hasn’t tried it, please do!!!
I’ve been reading & hearing about this salt for a while. I would love to try it, maybe I can convert the hubby who is the salt Nazi.
I love learning all about your secrets and knowledge. I like what you say about being frugal vs cheap. And I love that you live salt. I all in there with salt, not so much pepper but salt yes. I even add a little more to my cookie recipes just to get that sweet and salty ratio. Thanks for taking the time to give us some cents. I share you with my FPU friends.
Would love to win it because my hubby has high blood pressure and has been advised to cut salt out of his diet.
Salt is good for you and makes things taste so much better. It has many positive results on your body when used properly. Can’t do without it. 🙂
I’ve never heard of this particular salt before and would love to try it! We love well-seasoned food here, and I love giving my family food that is good for them!
I cook most of our food from scratch so I probably don’t use as much salt as processed foods, but I do use it! I use sea salt while cooking and granulated sea salt on the table. Would love to try Redmonds!
SALT SALT SALT!!! Gotta have SALT :)!!
We don’t hold back on the salt here but I do need to stop buying the processed stuff . . . this would be a great start for us!
I would love to give this a try! I’ve switched our household from iodized salt to sea salt and so far, no big complaints. Some of my house loves tons of salt and I on the other hand have gotten used to not so much salt. I usually just cook with a little and they can add what they like. I will have to check out the salt and order me some if I don’t win! 🙂
I would love to win this! We are always trying to find healthy ways to still enjoy our food and I have NEVER heard this info before! how did I miss this?!? I’m not a huge salt user, but my husband is and I am always trying to cut him back – this would be great!
I am headed to their website to order some. Can’t wait to try it.
Sugar in salt…yikes! I do like salt. My youngest LOVES salt. I would love to try this.
I also use Real Salt! I buy it in bulk to make it much more frugal:)
I have always loved eating salt. As a child I usto pour salt in the palm of my hand and lick my palm until the salt was all gone. I now as an adult try not to over do the salt since everyone says it is so bad for you. I would love to try the
Redmond salt and lookforward to trying to find it in our local grocery store.
Girl, God is amazing. It has to be a God thing that every time I am changing something in my families diet…. up comes a post from you… exactly on what I am considering or changing. I have just recently swapped salts, but still feel guilty using it, but when I do I remember the trace mineral thing and continue shaking. Thanks so muck for sharing your life. Btw, peanut butter banana kefir shake rocks!!!
I love salt! We typically use Himalayan pink salt. I have read to never use white salt. I have three boys 4 and under so I don’t get glitter erither 😉 I would love to try the Real Salt!
Very timely give away, I just emptied my Redmonds Real Salt bag. I left it out to remind to buy some more. I usually have to find it on-line, but found a grocery store 45 minutes away that has it. I have tried to tell people this salt is GOOD for you, but it seems to fall on deaf ears. It would be wonderful NOT to have to drive an hour and a half in -10 degree weather to get it! 🙂
I like salt but we have tried to reduce it in our home because we are told constantly that it is not healthy for us. I would love to try Redman’s Real Salt. And I agree with you…if we are giving our family good, healthy food it is worth the extra cost.
It’s not done, if it doesn’t have salt on it…LOL. I’m also a pepper lover too.
I’m with you all the way on the salt. Our bodies need all those many minerals to balance with the sodium, so our hearts can work correctly, so we are actually doing our families big favors if we let them have the real salt! So there!
I grew up in a household where my mother thought salt was evil. Her father had died as a result of a stoke and high blood pressure was common. I was the one who would sneak to the table and sprinkle a handful of salt in one hand and run off to eat…by its self. Just about anything passing over my plate would be salted. My blood pressure is on the low side so I didn’t really think I had a problem. Not until I started reading about the processes of ‘refining’ all the foods we eat. Natural salt would be a wonderful thing. I have never tried it but I now intend to…I thnk the natural things that God gave us are good…it is what man (in his own wisdom) has done to the foods that have made us so ‘sick’.
My grandfather, at 90 years old, always has and forever will love his salt. I’ve cut back save for a few things just just simply aren’t good eatin’ sans salt! But could I find some that is actually good for me, you betcha I’d pass the salt, right into my little paw! Do you have to order this online or are you finding it in stores? A pound of salt lasts a good long time so I don’t mind the price difference if its actually good for you!
PS loved your post on soap nuts. They’re awesome! 🙂 Keep on, keepin’ on!
I can’t find it locally – but I live in the country. 🙂 More Than Alive sells it and so does Vitacost.
I would love a chance to win this salt. I use salt in cooking a lot and my husband’s doctor has given orders to cut out salt. Would love to try this and see if we can just use healthy salt instead.
We switched to real salt last year and I love it. It is nice not to feel guilty anymore!
I’m a salty kind of girl and love salted popcorn, etc. I have tried to limit my salt use somewhat and would love to try this salt and learn more about it.
Since I have started reading your blog and making the move to a real food family we have switched to Real Salt. It brings out the flavors of the food more, and you don’t have to use as much to do that. Have a great day and thanks for sharing!!
I am a closet salter as well. I am curious about this one, because I’d love to find an alternative that I can feel good about. But the pricetag means that likely I’d never be able to afford to try it.
I love salt! I have always taken a lot of crap for my salt usage but I would just tell them, some day they will probably find out its good for us. You know they used to say eggs were unhealthy, now they are touted for how great they are 🙂 but you have peaked my curiosity about “real salt” I have never heard of it.
I soooo love salt! I started getting high blood pressure last year, so I’m not supposed to have much of it, but I can’t help myself. Food just doesn’t taste good without it!
Mmmmmmmm salt. We currently use Celtic sea salt but I would love to try some of this!
I’ve been using Real Salt for a while and I had actually forgotten that “salt is bad for you”. I take my salt with me when I go out. I ask them not to add salt to my dish and I just do it myself 🙂 I bake with it too!
I’m not a huge salt person but on certain dishes I go to town. I recently watched a show on salt mines and it was very interesting. I would love to try this salt.
I personally enjoy salt on certain things! My sister and mother on the other hand salt everything!Would love to try real salt!
Oh sweet mama. I LOVE salt. LOVE it. Gimme more!
I would LOVE to try this salt!
I would like to try this. I did not even know about it until I saw your site. I normally use the Kosher salt from the store. I usually am not a big salt person after cooking. I normally season food while cooking and that is it. We are always willing to try (some) new things.
Have a great day!
I have had a love affair with salt all my life. I love trying different salts and would love to try Redmond Real Salt! I use salt daily the only difference now is I choose how much I want in my food by not buying the prepackaged processed foods. I just shake away 🙂
Stacy, I swear I have learned so much from your blog! I can’t even remember how I came across your site but I love receiving my emails wondering what you’re up to today:) I’ve never heard of Redmond before and definitely wasn’t aware there was sugar in some store bought salts! I’m trying to be more of a frugal person and always come to your blog when I need encouragement – thanks so much!
I am the salt partaker at our home. Someone could take away the pepper before I would let them remove the salt from our house.
I would love a chance to try Redmond Real…have wanted to very much, but $$ hasn’t allowed that just yet. We do use lots of sea salt though (as in I buy it in 50 lb bulk) & then buy cheep-o for cleaning & play dough & such. Thanks for the giveaway!!
We love real salt here.
Love. Love. Love.
And I may be a tad bit obsessed with it as I have overheard the children giving lessons on the difference and what makes Salt good and Table salt “highly questionable” to others.
We love real salt[s] here.
Real salt all the way!!!
I just recently learned this myself and have switched to a natural salt. Got rid of all white salt. Getting healthy…oh yeah!
I also say “Self, pass the salt” and I gleefully reach for it! 🙂 We use Himilayan Pink Salt in the house, and I even put a bit in my daughter’s food and she loves it! I physically cannot make myself think that the white nasty stuff they want to sell us in the grocery store tastes good. I carry some of my HPS in my purse for the RARE occasions when we go out to eat (Which I normally regret because the white salt leaves me feeling bloated now…not to mention a gross taste in my mouth).
I am so in love with eating things just as God put them on this earth for us. And, I prefer the 87 trace minerals in my salt, thankyouverymuch to those companies sell us the junk left over. So, in short, please pass the salt, and I wouldn’t complain with bigger holes in the top of the salt shaker, either 🙂
I would love a chance to try real salt. I have been very interested in it, but have been hesitant to try it because of the cost.
My grandmother thought that I was chubby and would put me on a diet, but I didn’t mind because she would take me to the fabric store and let me pick out patterns for some nice clothes.
I even put salt on oranges:)
I love salt so much that Mrs. Pepper on Blue’s Clues should be concerned for her husband. 🙂 My husband laughs at me for putting it on E-VER-Y-THING before I’ve even tasted the food, but really, I just KNOW it will improve upon the original. If this removes my salt-shame, it would be worth a few extra bucks per pound!
I would love a chance to win this salt. I’ve never heard of it. I am a user of Sea Salt and I do have regular salt in my house too – I use it for cooking, but would rather use something better. I have salt mined from Saltville, VA but it is pure white, like table salt so now I’m assuming it’s been bleached. I hope I win the Redmond Salt – sounds like a must have.
I use salt, but not much. I tend to use fresh herbs, more out of preference, as well as I just feel better physically. I’m all for the REAL salt! Trying to change my eating habits to “if God didn’t make it, don’t eat it”, to get away from all the chemicals in processed food as well as get all the good stuff taken out
We use pink sea salt! We salt everything in this family. We are careful not to over salt. I ten to get sick if I use to much so I’m careful.
I love love love love salt. I crave it.
Thanks for this great giveaway. My family and I would love to win, so we can try this.
I must admit, I’d love a chance at this salt. I do love salt–it was always limited when I was growing up and I never understood why. I loved eating with my great grandmother and great great aunt because they were permissive with salt. Now, if I went out in summer without a sweater, that was another story. . . 😉
I think everyone went to their grandmothers to get what they couldn’t have at home – for me, it was bacon bits. LOL
