As white as snow! ❄️☃️

Did you know? Salt’s bright white color comes from its natural crystalline structure. Sodium chloride forms a cubic lattice that scatters light evenly, creating that pure, white appearance we all know salt to have.

Many people mistakenly think commercial salt is bleached, but that’s not true! Commercial salt is heavily processed and purified, often removing naturally occurring trace minerals to ensure a consistent and familiar white look.

Our hand-harvested salt, however, is naturally white, straight from the earth, with no need for harsh processing or additives. 💪💁‍♀️
