Unique sea salt with naturally low sodium content
The unique Saltwell sea salt grain is naturally low in sodium chloride - only 65% – thereby drastically reducing the sodium content of any foods in which it is used. The grain also contains 30% potassium chloride, a mineral considered an essential health nutrient by doctors and health authorities around the world. The fact that both sodium and potassium are naturally present in the grain makes Saltwell unique and explains why its taste and appearance is much the same as regular sea salt, without any bitterness in its flavor.

Lower the salt content, but keep the flavor and performance
Saltwell is easy to use and works well in all types of food. It can be used with excellent results in e.g. sausages, meat and chicken dishes, baking or as regular table salt. Saltwell also works well in soups, sauces and spice blends. Switching to Saltwell is easy – an equal ratio (1:1) will produce the same taste and results as ordinary salt. Always of a consistently high quality.
Salt is essential to give our food excellent flavor and color, a longer shelf life and good fermentation properties. We are proud to offer a salt with all the right characteristics as well as an incredible 35% reduction in sodium.

The underground salt discovery that promotes global health
Saltwell is extracted from a million-year-old underground sea in Chile, South America. Beneath one of the Earth’s most arid and sterile environments in the Atacama Desert, mineral-rich sea water is pumped from a depth of 30-70 meters. Using an authentic sea salt method, the water is evaporated in open ponds under the strong rays of the blazing sun. During the process, a natural chemical reaction takes place to unite the potassium with the sodium. The fact that potassium and sodium are both present within the same grain is what makes Saltwell unique and why Saltwell performs and tastes like regular salt. Finally, a unique salt grain of a consistent quality emerges – a completely natural sea salt containing 35% less sodium than regular salt.

Lower sodium content for improved health
The unique Saltwell sea salt grain is naturally low in sodium chloride - only 65% – thereby drastically reducing the sodium content of any foods in which it is used. The grain also contains 30% potassium chloride, a mineral considered an essential health nutrient by doctors and health authorities around the world.

Benefits of potassium
Together with sodium, potassium regulates the fluid and acid-base balance in the body. The more sodium we ingest, the more potassium is needed to maintain a balance. According to new guidelines issued by the WHO, adults should consume less than 2000 milligrams of sodium, or 5 grams of salt, and at least 3510 milligrams of potassium per day. A person with either elevated sodium levels or low potassium levels could be at risk of raised blood pressure which increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Meat products
In meat products, salt is crucial for its water-holding capacity, texture, shelf life and taste. The results of a sensory analysis performed by a trained panel show no significant difference in sensory properties between hamburgers made with Saltwell and regular salt. Another taste panel found that using Saltwell in meat loaf resulted in 4% less yield than regular salt during cooking, while having the same appearance and texture. In cooked ham prepared with Saltwell®, the same odor, appearance and overall acceptability was detected throughout its shelf life, compared with regular salt.

Bakery products
In baked goods, salt is important for gluten formation, texture and the fermentation process – not to mention the taste profile. Two small Swedish bakeries replaced regular salt with Saltwell, 1:1, with no alterations in procedure or recipe. For both sour dough and white bread – the same taste, fermentation and gluten formation was detected.
Oatmeal products
Salt is an important ingredient and taste carrier in oatmeal/porridge. When replacing salt with Saltwell 1:1, enabling a 35% sodium reduction, a professional test panel found Saltwell gave oatmeal the same appearance, taste profile and texture as the regular reference salt (vacuum salt).
