The Jalapeño Lime Sea Salt by Keep It Savory Salt Company will definitely diversify one's entourage of spices in the kitchen. The brand tested this product on consumers with a small test batch that "literally flew off of [its] market table." Keep It Savory maintains that its Jalapeño Lime Sea Salt can go with a variety of dishes—from mouth-watering guacamole to spiced grilled shrimp, from delicious black bean dip to even some adult beverages.
The brand notes that its most recent batch was sourced through Forty Acres Fresh Market. This startup grocer, located in Chicago's Austin neighborhood, is dedicated to providing affordable fresh produce with access and food justice for all. As such, Keep It Savory's current Jalapeño Lime Sea Salt batch "supports the accessibility of fresh foods in a disinvested neighborhood."
