What is Bamboo Salt?

Bamboo salt is a precious sea salt that has been traditionally handcrafted in Korea by Buddhist monks for over 1000 years. The sea salt is filled into bamboo tubes, sealed with clay, and fired multiple times in a kiln. Each firing process removes impurities and simultaneously increases the mineral content. The twice-fired bamboo salt has a less intense flavor than the nine-times-fired version. It tastes spicy and slightly sulfuric. Over time, one gets used to the special taste and can even discern a slight sweetness.

What makes bamboo salt so special?

Rich in minerals:

Unlike conventional salts, bamboo salt is particularly rich in important minerals that the body needs more than ever today. Through the unique production process, minerals from the bamboo, clay, and resin transfer into the salt, significantly improving its nutrient composition.

High pH value:

Since bamboo salt has a very high pH value between 9 and 12, it is strongly alkaline. It can thus help to neutralize your body's acid-base balance.

Purity:

The firing process at over 1300 °C removes chemicals and other impurities that can be found in conventional sea salt. This results in a pure, mineral-rich product that can be optimally absorbed by the body.

Application:

The twice-fired bamboo salt is very fine and perfect as a table salt. You can simply sprinkle it over your dishes to give them a strong flavor and simultaneously increase their nutritional value. It is also well-suited for making saline solutions. Bamboo salt is not only a tasty ingredient for your kitchen but also a natural supplement for your health.
