What is hickory wood?

Hickory wood is a type of hardwood originating from trees of the genus Carya, the walnut tree. It is widely known for its strength, density and unique flavor profile, making it a favorite for cooking, especially grilling and smoking meats.

Properties of hickory wood:

1. Density and hardness: it is one of the hardest and densest woods, which means it burns for a long time and at a constant temperature.
2. Flavour profile: imparts a distinctive, characteristic smoky flavour to the meat, which is often described as sweet, hearty and somewhat reminiscent of bacon.
3. Availability: in North America, especially in the eastern United States, this tree is quite widespread, making it available and popular for culinary use.

Advantages of using hickory wood for grilling meat:

Hickory wood has a distinct smoky flavor that enhances the flavor of the meat. This is particularly suited to red meats such as beef and pork, which can tolerate stronger flavours without being overpowered.

1. Versatility: wood is particularly popular for smoking pork (e.g. ribs and bacon), but it is also used for smoking chickens, turkeys and even fish, although the lighter meats should be used carefully to avoid overcooking.
2. Long burning: thanks to its density, hickory wood burns slowly and produces a steady heat, which is advantageous for low and slow grilling processes. This ensures a constant cooking temperature, which is essential for proper smoking of meat.
3. Aromatics: Rich aromatic hickory smoke adds depth and complexity of flavour to grilled meats, often enhancing the overall eating experience.

The use of hickory wood in grilling can turn an ordinary piece of meat into an aromatic and tasty dish, making it a popular ingredient among amateur grillers and master chefs alike.

What is Real ^Salt® smoked salt?

With a warm aroma reminiscent of a summer campfire, smoked real salt is an easy way to give your food the unique smoky flavor you crave. It's a game changer when grilling, but it's just as good on a salad, a slice of melon or a grilled cheese sandwich.

It's made from ancient unrefined Real Salt (or "nature's first sea salt") and contains no artificial flavors, colors or additives, so you can enjoy the rich flavor of this smoked salt on any (or every) dish.

Smoked salt is salt smoked with smoke from natural smokeless wood in a smokehouse. Many salts are smoked for approximately 48 hours. However, you can smoke them for a shorter or longer time depending on how strong you want the smoked flavour to be.

You can also use different types of wood to achieve different flavours when smoking. The most popular woods used for smoking salt include alder wood, mesquite wood, sweet apple, hickory wood and cherry wood.

To achieve a really complex and strong flavour, some smoked salt producers use a combination of several different woods (the Chef's Blend combines five different woods).

Although real smoked salt is simply salt that has been smoked, there are brands that create a smoky flavour in their salt using a flavouring called liquid smoke or artificial additives.

Some brands also add artificial colours. So if you're looking for simple, pure and real smoked salt, you need to read the label... or buy Redmond Real Salt.

Real salt and the composition of human blood

Natural crystal salt like Redmond's is much more than just sodium chloride: it consists of not just two, but more than 60 trace elements. These are the very natural elements that make up our bodies, and from which our life in the primeval ocean once arose.

Approximately 0.9% sodium chloride is found in human blood and the chemical composition of seawater is similar to that of human blood plasma in terms of salt content.

Salt water is also the natural environment in which the human fetus develops. It is really surprising that the blood still has the same concentration of water and salt solution, or brine, as the water in the ocean had when life left the sea.

This brine flows through more than 90 thousand kilometres of fluid pathways in our body and ensures that our body functions are always balanced and regulated. Real salt is therefore extremely important for our health.

Something to think about

Remember the fairy tale of butter and its substitute margarine, with which we have been misled for many years by multinational companies like Unilever and Nestlé in conjunction with doctors and the media. It was supposed to be better for our health than real butter.

In fact, it has only been better for their pockets and the profits received at the expense of human health - as with everything these companies produce and sell. And we already know how it all turned out. We all go back to butter in droves because it's simply the best. So is real unrefined salt. Don't confuse it with ultra-processed white poison for a few crowns.
