Wild Chip Salt – Australian Native Seasoning

A versatile Australian native seasoning made for chips, vegetables, salads and everyday cooking.

Johnny Retro Wild Chip Salt is a distinctive Australian seasoning made with native pepper berry and leaf, anise myrtle and river mint.

Although it was created to bring something special to hot chips and French fries, Wild Chip Salt is far more versatile than its name suggests. Use it on roasted vegetables, fresh salads, grilled vegetables, potatoes, fish, chicken, avocado and everyday meals that need an extra layer of flavour.

The Australian native ingredients bring together peppery warmth, gentle aromatic notes and a fresh herbal finish, creating a balanced seasoning that enhances food without overpowering it.

Nothing Artificial. Only the Good Stuff.

What Is Wild Chip Salt?

Wild Chip Salt is an Australian native seasoning blend designed to add more character than an ordinary table salt or standard chip seasoning.

It combines salt with native pepper berry and leaf, anise myrtle and river mint to create a seasoning that is savoury, aromatic and fresh.

The blend was developed for chips, but its flavour profile makes it suitable for a much wider range of foods, including vegetables, salads, fish, chicken and simple everyday meals.

Made with Australian Native Ingredients

Johnny Retro Wild Chip Salt features three distinctive Australian native ingredients:

• Native pepper berry and leaf (Tasmannia lanceolata): Adds peppery warmth, savoury character and a gentle lingering finish.
• Anise myrtle (Syzygium anisatum): Brings a light aromatic note that gives the seasoning extra depth.
• River mint (Mentha australis): Adds a fresh herbal lift that helps balance the pepper and savoury flavours.

Together, these ingredients create a uniquely Australian seasoning that works naturally with potatoes, vegetables, salads and grilled foods.

What Does Wild Chip Salt Taste Like?

Wild Chip Salt has a savoury base with peppery warmth, gentle aromatic notes and a clean herbal finish.

It is not intended to taste heavily smoky, intensely hot or dominated by one herb. The blend is balanced so that the native ingredients enhance the food rather than mask its natural flavour.

The result is an easy-to-use seasoning that adds interest to both simple meals and more considered dishes.

More Than a Chip Salt

Wild Chip Salt may have started with chips in mind, but it is made for much more than French fries.

Use it as an all-purpose Australian native seasoning for:

• Hot chips and French fries
• Potato wedges
• Roast potatoes
• Mashed potatoes
• Roasted vegetables
• Fresh vegetables
• Green salads
• Tomato salads
• Avocado
• Fish and chips
• Grilled or baked fish
• Chicken
• Eggs
• Popcorn
• Grilled corn

Wild Chip Salt for Chips and French Fries

Sprinkle Wild Chip Salt over hot chips, French fries or potato wedges as soon as they come out of the fryer, oven or air fryer.

Applying the seasoning while the chips are still hot helps it coat the surface and distribute evenly.

The native pepper adds warmth, while the anise myrtle and river mint give the seasoning a more distinctive finish than an ordinary chip salt.

Wild Chip Salt for Roasted Vegetables

Use Wild Chip Salt on pumpkin, carrots, cauliflower, sweet potato, zucchini, capsicum, mushrooms or Brussels sprouts.

Toss the vegetables lightly with oil and seasoning before roasting, or add a small amount after cooking as a finishing salt.

The peppery and herbal notes work especially well with the natural sweetness that develops as vegetables caramelise in the oven.

Wild Chip Salt for Fresh Vegetables and Salads

Wild Chip Salt can also be used on uncooked vegetables and fresh salads.

Sprinkle lightly over tomato, cucumber, avocado, leafy greens, rocket, roasted beetroot or pear and parmesan salads.

Its fresh herbal finish adds flavour without the need for a heavy dressing.

Wild Chip Salt for Fish and Seafood

Wild Chip Salt is a natural match for fish, particularly fish and chips, grilled salmon and baked white fish.

Use it to season the fish before cooking, sprinkle it over hot chips or add a light finishing touch just before serving.

Wild Chip Salt for Chicken

Sprinkle Wild Chip Salt over grilled, roasted or pan-cooked chicken to add savoury flavour, peppery warmth and a fresh herbal note.

It works well on chicken breast, thighs, wings and simple chicken salads.

Wild Chip Salt for Avocado and Eggs

Add a light sprinkle to avocado toast, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, omelettes or breakfast bowls.

The native pepper lifts the richness of avocado and eggs, while the river mint adds a clean finish.

How to Use Wild Chip Salt

Wild Chip Salt can be used before cooking, during cooking or as a finishing seasoning.

• Season hot chips immediately after cooking
• Toss with vegetables before roasting
• Sprinkle lightly over fresh salads
• Use as a finishing salt on fish or chicken
• Add to avocado toast and egg dishes
• Season popcorn or grilled corn
• Use anywhere you would normally reach for salt and pepper

Start with a light sprinkle, taste, then add more if needed. This allows the native pepper, anise myrtle and river mint to complement the food without becoming too strong.

An Australian Seasoning for Everyday Cooking

Wild Chip Salt makes Australian native ingredients easy to use in everyday cooking.

You do not need a complicated recipe. A small sprinkle can transform hot chips, roast vegetables, a simple salad or a piece of grilled fish.

It is designed for home cooks, BBQ lovers and anyone looking for a more interesting alternative to ordinary salt or standard chip seasoning.

What Makes Johnny Retro Wild Chip Salt Different?

It is made without artificial colours, artificial flavours or artificial preservatives and is proudly produced in Melbourne, Australia.
