nutritional benefits of tasman sea salt

PURE UNREFINED SEA SALT

There is a growing awareness among chefs and food lovers alike of the importance of using high quality, unrefined sea salt in our food, rather than traditional table salts which have been stripped of all mineral goodness.

Tasman Sea Salt is situated on the border of the Southern Ocean, the cleanest ocean in the world. Harvested from this pristine sea water, Tasman Sea Salt does not need to be cleaned or rinsed during harvesting, meaning all the trace minerals and nutrients found in the ocean remain in the salt. This provides for a salt with an incredible depth of flavour that also has added health benefits.

Tasman Sea Salt contains just 90% sodium chloride, with the remaining 10% a rich blend of sea minerals essential to human life including potassium, magnesium, calcium and iodine. As a result, Tasman Sea Salt is naturally lower in sodium than most other salts on the market, containing just 32% sodium. And its pure ocean flavour means you need to use less Tasman Sea Salt on your food to get the same flavour hit as you would with other salts.

POTASSIUM RICH SEA SALT

Tasman Sea Salt naturally contains higher levels of potassium (approximately 80% more) and lower levels of sodium (approximately 20% less) than most other salts. Potassium is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body and is a powerful element in improving health.

The benefits of potassium include relief from stroke, blood pressure, heart and kidney disorders, anxiety and stress, as well as enhanced muscle strength, metabolism, water balance, electrolytic functions, and nervous system.
