How bamboo salt compares to table salt

Natural sea salt, known as “the essence of the sea”, which contains a balanced variety of essential minerals, was first taken by our ancestors. However, modern civilization has dumped a large amount of industrial and domestic wastewater into the sea, so that “the essence of the sea” has become dirty and polluted. Due to the circumstance, salt, which is essential for people, has given us a “feeling of concern and danger” when consuming it. This is because people know that once heavy metals such as lead, mercury, chromium and cadmium are taken in with salt in the human body, these heavy metals will be difficult to discharge and will be converted in a kind of sediment and will form toxins in the body. As a result, natural sea salt must be processed before it is consumed. Then, the table salt is introduced. You have ensured the hygienic profile; however, those minerals essential to the human body have also been removed during the process. Consequently, the process destroys the nutritional balance found in salt. In other words, table salt may appear clean, but heavy metal contamination in salt, considered the leading cause of death in the age of pollution, has still been eliminated due to insufficient technological process. This has even highlighted the heavy metal components due to the leaching of essential minerals. Strictly speaking, it is more appropriate to consume less table salt in our diet. To improve the standard of salt, there are many industries that produce “calcium-enriched table salt”, “potassium-enriched table salt”, “zinc-enriched table salt” and “selenium-enriched table salt”; the so-called “seasoned salt”. Since the addition of some trace elements and minerals, this salt has been called “nutritive salt” or “salt of multiple varieties”. Here, there are two points that need our attention.

First, this type of salt is not significantly true “nutritive salt,” although it is only slightly better than unfortified table salt. Specifically, the salt itself must contain more than 60 types of minerals and trace elements. But the “nutritive salt”, not only its nutritional content is obviously insufficient, but also shows its deficiency in its types.

Second, the main process of table salt adopts the evaporation method. However, in this process, it is difficult to remove some of the contamination, especially heavy metals. From the point of view of the national salt standard, the standard content of lead limits is not more than 1 mg / kg. (In fact, this aspect has clearly clarified that the table salt we take is still a small amount of heavy metals). Once these heavy metals enter the human body, due to the difficulty in discharging them, they will eventually form toxins in the body. . Therefore, it is not a real nutritious salt. In addition, table salt contains a large number of impurities, such as anti-caking agents. In conclusion, salt with a shiny crystal appearance may not be exactly the “clean” salt.

In the late 1980s, Korea first introduced bamboo salt to the world. In short, bamboo salt is made from natural sea salt that is put into bamboo tubes and then burned with pine wood several times. In the process, natural sea salt, bamboo pipes, pine wood and pine resin are needed as raw materials. The use of these special mixed materials ensures that the toxins in the salt get maximum neutralization and elimination through high temperature roasting. At the same time, the medicinal properties can also be maintained and enhanced to the maximum. There are many benefits of bamboo salt. It is excellent in the prevention and treatment of various modern diseases caused by contaminated toxins.
