What is Plantsalt?
Plantsalt is a low-sodium, plant-based salt derived from saline coastal plants such as Salicornia and red algae. Our patented process combines the best of nature and technology.
What is the secret behind Plantsalt?
Plantsalt utilizes a secret that nature has perfected over millennia: Certain coastal plants and marine algae store the salts dissolved in seawater directly in their cells. In doing so, they store not only potassium and sodium, but also a variety of other minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, and iodine.
How sustainable is Plantsalt?
Our mineral salt is not produced through traditional mining; rather, in accordance with the principles of the circular economy, it is extracted from by-products of algae processing. This method eliminates waste, conserves resources and optimises the entire value chain.
