Comparing Real Salt to Regular Salt

Let me ask you a question? Is the salt you use really pure salt or is it that white stuff that’s been bleached, refined and filled with silicates, dextrose and other chemicals?  On the other hand, Real Salt means real, authentic salt. A glance at the ingredients label on most salts will surprise you. These other salts contain anti-caking agents and even dextrose (sugar). They have been heat processed and stripped of their natural trace minerals. Real Salt is different, it’s unrefined and full of natural minerals and flavor – the way salt was meant to be.

Bodacious Chili Products is proud to bring you salt in its natural state – without additives, chemicals, or heat processing of any kind. Real Salt is just pure salt from a salt deposit deep within an ancient seabed in central Utah.  This product, with its unique pinkish color, contains more than 60 natural trace minerals, including Nature’s own iodine. Its flavor is very unique, it’s not bitter or taste like chemicals, it’s sweet and it’s healthy. You might say that Real salt is Nature’s first sea salt.

We use Real Salt is some of our recipes BUT never in Bodacious Chili Powder – the black, red and gold bags are salt free. It’s up to the chef or user of our chili powders to determine how much salt to use. Although, Bodacious Salsa Seasoning, Bodacious Chili Verde Seasoning and our rubs and marinades do contain Real Salt.

Take the salt test and you will know what we mean. Simply sprinkle some standard table salt onto a clean napkin, wet your finger and dab it into the table salt then take a taste (slightly bitter isn’t it?) Now rinse your mouth with clean water and do the same process using Real Salt – Gotcha. Was I wrong?  Nope, the difference is overwhelming. You have just gone from chemically-enhanced table salt to the wonderful flavor of Real Salt; just like Nature has prepared for you.
