What it is

Ancient seabed salt is a type of salt that comes from underground deposits formed by ancient oceans that have long since evaporated. It is mined from these geological formations, often containing a variety of minerals in addition to sodium chloride.

Why it's used

Like other salts, ancient seabed salt is primarily used as a flavor enhancer to improve the taste of foods. It also acts as a preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of various products. It is found in a wide range of packaged foods, including nut and seed butters.

Health notes

Salt (sodium chloride), the primary component of ancient seabed salt, is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While salt is essential for human health, consuming too much sodium can be a concern for some individuals. The FDA Daily Value for sodium is 2,300 mg. JECFA has evaluated sodium chloride and established an acceptable daily intake.
