Summary

Vera Salt's Flake Spring Salt is a hand-harvested artisanal flake salt sourced from an ancient saline spring in the foothills of Spain — not the open ocean. Third-party tested for microplastics and heavy metals (Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, Mercury), a level of testing transparency virtually unheard of in the salt category. Packaged 100% plastic-free in a glass jar inside a paperboard box, so the salt never contacts plastic from harvest to table. Naturally mineral-rich (K 294ppm, Mg 382ppm, Ca 1,034ppm) with no anti-caking agents, preservatives, or processing additives. The strongest microplastic-conscious salt option we've seen.

Key ingredients 6

Third-Party Tested Microplastic-Free
Very Good

Independently tested and verified microplastic-free — virtually unheard of in the artisan salt category. Inland spring sourcing avoids ocean microplastic exposure entirely.

Heavy Metals Third-Party Tested
Very Good

Tested for Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury — a transparency level rare in the largely unregulated artisan salt market.

100% Plastic-Free Packaging
Very Good

Glass jar inside a paperboard outer box — the salt never contacts plastic from harvest through storage, eliminating packaging-derived microplastic migration.

Spring-Sourced (Not Ocean)
Very Good

Harvested from a pristine saline spring in Spain rather than open ocean. Inland spring sources are not exposed to oceanic microplastic pollution.

Hand-Harvested Unrefined
Good

Traditional hand-harvesting and air-drying preserves the full natural mineral content; no bleaching, refining, or processing additives.

Trace Minerals (Mg, K, Ca)
Very Good

Naturally rich in magnesium (382ppm), potassium (294ppm), and calcium (1,034ppm) — minerals stripped from refined table salt that support muscle, nerve, and cardiovascular function.
