How does the salt industry treat salt?

Natural salt contains up to 84 important elements that are essential for the vitality of our bodies. With advanced technical processes the salt is purified and the majority of elements are washed out and only NaCI (Sodium Chloride) is left. This process, called refinement, is the normal procedure for the salt industry.

Why do they refine?

Worldwide more than 92% of extracted salt is needed for industrial purposes where only pure NaCI can be used. Only 6% is used by the food industry and only 2% of this refined salt is used in private households. Most refined salt reaches our bodies through ready to serve meals or canned foods and this can:
• affect kidney function
• cause gout
• cause rheumatism and arthritis
• lead to arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
• allergies thru the use of aluminum hydroxide as an anticaking agent
• cause thyroid problems

Nowadays, we still find salt producers providing a high quality salt in its original structure and purity without additives and without refining. It is harvested from salt de-posits unprocessed and is millions of years old. Approximately 80% of the supplied sea salt on the market is refined, bleached and chemically treated. Another problem is the pollution of our seas and contamination with heavy metals and oil spills.

Kalahari® Salt is an outstanding product!

Natural salt contains up to 84 elements for the vital function of the body as well as the blood and nerve system which are dependant on these elements. Try to avoid cheap table salt, use natural salt instead because the body can only release 5 to 7 grams NaCI per day but the bodies intake through food is 15 to 20 grams per day. Therefore 10 grams per day will not be released from your body. The over doseage of that salt will remain in your body cells and retains water in your body.

Kalahari® Salt is a natural salt and gives you the following advantages:

• free of negative environmental influences
• contains no artificial or other additional products like anticaking agents
• a fine taste and a crystal white colour
• Efficient packaging to conserve freshness
• can be ground to half-coarse or finely granulated
   by using a high-grade steel mill
