Redmond Real Salt
Redmond Real Salt is a branded culinary salt mined in central Utah and sold in several grain sizes.
A named Utah salt
Redmond Real Salt is a branded culinary salt produced from a deposit in central Utah. The producer describes the deposit as an ancient seabed and says the salt is mined, crushed and screened into different grain sizes. This is a producer-specific ingredient, not a generic name for all pink or mined salts.
Fine salt can appear pale with small coloured flecks. The actual colour, texture, grain size and label depend on the product selected. The associated Wikimedia reference shows a sample of the named brand; a photograph cannot establish the composition or grade of a different package.

From mine to kitchen
The producer’s account describes mechanical extraction followed by milling and screening, with fine, kosher and coarse forms offered. The resulting granule size changes how the salt feels and how much fits into a spoon. Weighing salt is particularly useful when a recipe depends on a specific quantity rather than seasoning to taste.
For food, buy the culinary product and check the label and storage directions. Salt sold for other uses should not be assumed equivalent. The supplied research record named Redmond, Utah, but did not independently establish the food grade of a particular batch; the producer’s description is evidence of the named retail product, not a test of every sample.

Salt and preservation
Use a suitable food-grade salt and follow the specified amount in the preparation. In a fermentation or cure, salt is more than a finishing flavour: its quantity and the complete method matter. Changing grain size without measuring by weight can change the actual mass used.
The manufacturer describes trace minerals in the product. Their presence does not by itself establish a nutritional advantage at ordinary serving sizes. Like other salts, this ingredient contributes sodium; consider total sodium in the diet and the recipe rather than treating its source or colour as a way to avoid it.
