Masu 100% Sea Water Sea Salt – 14.1 oz jar

$14.19

From Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Japan

Masu Sea Salt starts as coral sea water pumped from a depth of 60 feet, double-filtered, "steam-misted" then slowly-dried at low temperature for a minimum of 3 days. Using an innovative, environmentally friendly, patented, low temperature misting process, Masu salt is born as the first crystallization directly from the coral sea water itself. It contains over four dozen trace minerals including an unusually high level of organic calcium. This unique low-temperature patented process allows the trace mineral balance found in the living sea water to be mirrored in the salt.

No other salt on earth can claim this organic balanced mineral profile. Recent scientific research has shown that naturally occuring trace minerals are more easily assimilated by the body. Masu 100% sea water salt may represent a major breakthrough for human nutrition. Masu sea salt is not a harsh crystallized bed salt. nSalt crystals harvested from salt beds may contain unwanted substances such as dirt and limestone, and reflect a compromised mineral balance caused by leeching and over exposure to sunlight. Since Masu Salt is created directly from sea water, its nature is more like a soft salt "flake" which is very gentle on the body. Enjoy this unique, nutritious sea salt for your health and well being. This amazing salt truly redefines the term "fit for human consumption."
