How Sustainable Is Your Spice Rack?

When you think about sustainability, you probably picture reusable bags, compost bins, or choosing local produce. But have you ever considered the environmental footprint of your spice rack—specifically, your sea salt?

At Florida Pure Sea Salt, we believe that everyday essentials, like the pinch of salt you toss into your favorite dish, should be as clean and sustainable as the rest of your lifestyle. Let’s explore what makes some sea salts “dirty,” and why our small-batch process makes a difference—for your kitchen, your community, and the planet.

 Not All Salts Are Created Equal

Most people assume sea salt is just... sea salt. But the truth is, the way it’s harvested can have a big impact on both quality and sustainability. Here’s a breakdown of common practices:

 Commercially Mined Salt

  • Extracted using heavy machinery from deep underground mines

  • Often refined and stripped of trace minerals

  • High carbon footprint due to industrial processing

 Chemically Processed “Sea Salt”

  • May contain anti-caking agents, additives, or bleaches

  • Sourced from polluted or unclear waters

  • Packaged in plastic or non-recyclable materials

 What Makes Florida Pure Sea Salt Different?

Eco-Friendly & Recycleable Packaging

Our sea salt comes in refillable glass jars with bamboo lids and pouches that are made of recyclable material and are recyclable. Our local customers even get discounts for jar returns.

Small-Batch, Low-Impact Process

By crafting small batches, we minimize disruption to the ecosystem with minimal waste. It’s slow, careful work..

Supporting Local Labor & Small Businesses

Every jar you buy supports real people—not machines. Our team is small, local, and deeply committed. We also work with small batch makers all over the world who craft their sea salts the same way. We are a resource of clean, safe sea salt from Florida and around the world.

Why It Matters

Sea salt might be a small ingredient but it adds up. When you choose clean, ethical salt:

  • You reduce waste and microplastic pollution

  • You support local, sustainable businesses

  • You enjoy a richer, more mineral-packed flavor
