Bamboo salt – a mineral-rich seasoning with tradition. Bamboo salt is more than just a seasoning – it provides valuable minerals and adds a special flavor to dishes. The 9x-fired bamboo salt has a coarse grain and a dark, purple color, which is why it is also called purple salt. It takes three years to produce, as it undergoes nine firing processes that remove impurities and increase the mineral concentration. The high sulfur content gives bamboo salt its intense flavor – initially very salty, then slightly sweet over time. It has many uses: as a seasoning, for brushing teeth, in baths, or as a saline solution for the nose and face. Bamboo salt originates from Korea, where it was developed by monks as a medicinal remedy 1,000 years ago. Repeated firing makes it particularly alkaline (pH 9–12) and can neutralize acidic foods. To protect it from light, the 9x-fired bamboo salt is packaged in Miron violet glass, which preserves its shelf life and effectiveness.
