Have you tried Real Salt? Those of you who read my blog know I use it regularly and absolutely love it!
What's so special, you ask? This is all natural sea salt from Utah. No, it does not come from the Great Salt Lake. It comes from an ancient sea bed that is located in Utah. I am happy to use such a great product from my home state.
At first glance, you will wonder why there is sand in the salt. What you see is not sand, but natural minerals that add subtle nuances of flavor. The ordinary table salt you get in your cardboard canister is heavily processed, bleached, and has less nutritional value than this stuff:
When I first tried it, I was amazed. There is a subtle sweet flavor and it is almost impossible to over salt your foods. The only way you will know is to try this yourself.
Guess what? Real Salt is going to give away one of these amazing gift packs to one of my lucky readers!
This is an awesome crate gift pack the contains 4 oz. of each of the following: Garlic, Onion, Season Blend and Regular Granular Salt.
Sweet!
I had no clue that this company made any of these cool blends. If you want more information on this product, check out the Real Salt Blog.
So what do you do to win?

Nitty gritty details: Giveaway is open to my U.S. readers and will end at midnight MST on December 31, 2010. Winner will be selected by Random.org and announced on this blog shortly thereafter.

I didn't know salt had nutritional value...have to check that out. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have to answer differently than your choices, it's before Christmas but I already have my favorite present. Hubby bought me a new (to us) car! It's even a nice pretty red for Christmas.
I don't know if my email is in my profile so will leave it here: princessnevermind @ gmail.com
My favorite Christmas gift this year will be (I bought it myself and told my hubby he could give it to me... LOL) a Cricut cake! Can't wait to open it up and start playing with it! ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know real salt had blends.
ReplyDeleteWhat would I like for Christmas? That's easy, a job for my husband, he's been looking for a long time now.
That is some amazing salt! I've been wanting to try it for a while now. I better break down and get it! Something I've been wanting for christmas was a french-style rolling pin...but a friend gave it to me for an early christmas present last week. I've been LOVING it!!! I also want a silpat. BAD!

Hmmm. I bought and wrapped new kitchen rugs for Christmas. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple cookbooks that I'd like for Christmas.

I'll take a loaf of your bread or some of your rolls, as long as you made it! ha ha ...or a nice new mixer to replace the one that quit on me last month! ;) SLY
ReplyDeleteThat salt looks delectable! I use plain sea salt but haven't ever tried this stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm asking for a remote car starter for Christmas! We don't have a garage and in the snowy, icy winters Nebraska is so known for, scraping and chopping and defrosting my car is a miserable start to every morning!

ReplyDeleteI already got an early present....a new laptop. I really needed it! Now I need a new crock pot. Mine quit working last week....bummer! It was only 3 years old. I contacted crock pot company, and they said "Sorry, it is no longer under warranty." Sometimes I think they are making small appliances disposable.
ReplyDeleteRod loves that salt! It's been a while since we ran out, so we'd love some more!
ReplyDeleteChristmas came a little early for me. I got Photoshop Elements and have already been enjoying it. Why not stretch Christmas out a little?! :)
I want what I'm getting... the whole family here for Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued by the idea of "sweet" applied to salt. If I win I'll have a chance to find out.
I always use sea salt but I did not know it came in different flavors. I would really like to try the different flavors and for Christmas, well, I sure would enjoy getting a vinyl machine.

For Christmas I am wishing for some new place card holders that are beautiful but generic (the only kind I have right now are pewter roses that are gorgeous but don't really match for every theme...)

I want some instructional sewing books.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun question! I would enjoy a larger stock pot and another pair of wooden tongs. My children used it to remove toast from the toaster but one day my five year old go to excited and broke them.

I got a new KitchenAid! It was a birthday/christmas present since my birthday was a couple of days ago.
ReplyDeleteI want some oliver + s patterns and a big box of fabric.....or a new sewing machine (but that's not going to happen)
ReplyDeleteI've never had this sea salt but everyone always says that is is so good.

Oh, I love, love this salt! I didn't know they offered blends either. How fun! I have to say that I already opened a gift that I had been wanting; a le creuset pot! I showed my hubby a cheapie one from Sam's Club, but he knows how much I love to cook and wanted to get me a quality one, so he got it for me. I hardly dared use it the first time, but love it already!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, what do I want for Christmas? I'll take just about anything. I'm pretty easy to shop for, I'd take new clothes, books for my Kindle, teaching books for when I get out of school. I love this time of year!

ReplyDeleteFor christmas I would like some new sewing basket and a bottle of my favirote perfume.
ReplyDeleteI love Real Salt! So good on raw and steamed veggies and in/on everything else we use salt in/on. What I want for Christmas? Real Salt and children happy with what they receive! :)

Donna via RSS feed: Frieda,
ReplyDeleteFor Christmas I want to be surrounded by
my family and close friends. No gifts are
necessary at all....just time to relish how
extraordinary they all are, and what a gift
they are to me.
Thank you,
