Curing salt comes in many types, but always with the same purpose: used to facilitate food preservation and extend shelf life while pickling the spice. The most common salt of thes e is Pink Salt, also known as Instacure / Prague Powder #1. This salt, unlike pink himalayan salt, is pink due to a small amount of added red dye, traditionally to stop it being confused from tablesalt. Our Curing Salt is mainly table salt, with around 6.25% sodium nitrate dried and added in. It is best used for meats that require short curing times and can be cooked and eaten shortly after the curing process. Sausages, Pastrami, Corned Beef and others are perfect for this. Show more
