Delta Salt & Why’s It SO Spicy?! Delta Salt - Colorado-Made Mineral Salt Blends Regular & Spicy
Couldn't load pickup availability
Made on the Western Slope, where we like our salt local, our food flavorful, and our jokes just a little dry.
Delta Salt is our love letter to the way food used to be—when soil was richer, nutrients were plentiful, and nobody had to Google “why am I tired all the time?” While we can’t rewind farming history, we can make a better salt.
So we did.
What Is Delta Salt?
Delta Salt starts with Redmond Real Salt, a high-quality, mineral-rich salt, and gets upgraded with a thoughtful blend of Milk Thistle and Stinging Nettle - two plants traditionally valued for their impressive micronutrient profiles.
Yes, it sounds a little wild.
No, it’s not random.
These plants offer a nutrient spectrum similar to what used to exist naturally in local soils before decades of intensive farming reduced mineral availability in food crops. The result is a salt blend that’s flavorful, interesting, and rooted in place.
And the Spicy One?
“Why’s It SO Spicy?!” Delta Salt is exactly what it sounds like.
In addition to the Delta Salt base, we’ve added:
-
Cayenne
-
Red pepper
-
Gochujang pepper (from Korea, because spice knows no borders)
It’s warm, bold, and enthusiastic—perfect for people who believe seasoning should mean something.
How to Use
-
Sprinkle on eggs, veggies, meats, or popcorn
-
Finish soups, stews, or roasted anything
-
Add to cooking when you want flavor and a sense of purpose
Regular Delta Salt = everyday seasoning
Spicy Delta Salt = personality trait
Why We Made It
Food isn’t nutritionally identical to what our grandparents ate. Neither is livestock feed. Soil mineral content has declined significantly over the last century, and that shift shows up on our plates.
Delta Salt is our small, local attempt to bridge that gap—using plants, minerals, and common sense.

A Friendly Disclaimer
This is a seasoning, not a miracle. It won’t time-travel your dinner and tastebuds back to 1923 - but it will make it taste better and feel more intentional.
