Hi Gregory, thanks so much for your feedback on our salts. Both our Fleur de Hell and Scorpion salt are made with a base salt of fleur de sel, which is inherently a more 'wet' salt as the crystals retain a lot of residual moisture content when harvested. For drier spicy salts, we'd recommend our Chili Lime or Sriracha salts, as the base salt is a fine-grained, dry Italian salt with very little residual moisture. Salts with dessicants are a widely traded commodity, mass-manufactured and eye-poppingly cheap. (We use organic brown rice powder as a dessicant only in one salt, our Roasted Garlic salt, as we find it absolutely necessary.) For all others, we believe in letting the beauty of the natural salt crystal as made by the sun, wind and sea, shine.
We'd love to learn more about any problems you had with packaging or shipping. If you'd like us to send you replacements or substitutions, please reach out to us at hello@themeadow.com and we will take care of you! Best wishes, The Meadow
