The results were honestly shocking, even to me. While some popular salts passed the test, the best picks turned out to be ones most people have never heard of — and they’re game-changers you’ll want in your kitchen.
Salt seems simple — but it’s not always as clean as it looks. A lot of what’s on the shelves is full of microplastics, heavy metals, and mystery additives.
This guide goes beyond surface-level info — I’ve been deeply focused on finding the cleanest, safest, and tastiest salts out there (yes, I even taste-tested them!) .
I spent weeks digging into everything I could find — from sourcing details and ingredient safety to direct back-and-forth conversations with salt companies and the most trustworthy research available. I poured countless hours into this so you don’t have to second-guess anything.
You’ll feel confident knowing exactly what to buy (and what to skip) every time.
