Tasman Sea Salt Flakes 250g
These Tasman Sea Salt Flakes contain an abundance of naturally occurring trace minerals derived from the nutrient rich, pure clean waters off Tasmania.

Why is Tasman Sea Salt the best for fermenting?
Non-iodised: Iodine can inhibit the growth of beneficial bacteria needed for fermentation. Tasman Sea Salt is non-iodised, which allows the natural fermentation process to thrive without interference.
Pure and Aussie-sourced: Harvested from Tasmania with no additives or anti-caking agents.
Rich in minerals: Naturally contains potassium, magnesium, and calcium for added nutrition and flavour.
Lower in sodium: Gentler than many other salts, including Celtic sea salt.
Easy to use: Flaky texture dissolves quickly for smooth brine prep.
Why Fermenting Your Own Food Is So Great
- Boosts Immunity Naturally: Fermented foods are rich in probiotics that help support a healthy gut — and a healthy gut means a stronger immune system, especially helpful during winter.
- Supports Digestive Health: The good bacteria produced during fermentation aid digestion and help balance your gut microbiome.
- Preserves Nutrients (and Even Enhances Them!): Fermentation can increase the availability of vitamins, especially B vitamins and vitamin K.
- Adds Big Flavour to Any Meal: From tangy sauerkraut to spicy kimchi, fermented foods bring brightness, crunch, and depth to otherwise bland winter meals.
- Reduces Food Waste: Got excess cabbage, carrots, or beets? Ferment them instead of tossing — it’s a great way to use up veggies.
- Long Shelf Life Without Chemicals: Fermented foods are naturally preserved and can last for weeks or even months without synthetic preservatives.
- Cost-Effective: A jar of fermented vegetables at home costs a fraction of what you'd pay for store-bought versions.
- Satisfying Slow Living Ritual: Fermentation is a calming, creative hobby that connects you to seasonal eating and the natural rhythms of time and patience.
- Great for Curious Cooks: It's a fun science-meets-kitchen experience that’s beginner-friendly but endlessly deep for those who want to keep learning.
- Plastic-Free & Minimal Waste: When you make it yourself, you skip the plastic packaging and mystery ingredients.
