Sea Minerals

Sea minerals are naturally occurring minerals found in seawater. They are typically harvested through evaporation or other purification processes to isolate specific mineral compounds.

Sea minerals are often added to foods as a source of trace minerals or for their flavor-enhancing properties, similar to salt. They can be found in seasoning mixes, marinades, and some snack foods.

Sea minerals are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of essential trace elements, and their consumption at typical dietary levels is not associated with adverse health effects. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various mineral compounds found in sea salt, generally finding them safe for consumption.
