Description
Blue salt is one of the rarest and most unique mineral salt types in the world, primarily extracted from ancient Iranian mines. Its natural blue color formed over millions of years due to intense compression of the crystal structure and the presence of potassium, with no artificial coloring added.
In terms of mineral composition, this salt consists mainly of sodium chloride but also contains natural amounts of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and other trace elements; the presence of potassium provides a milder taste compared to regular white salt. Higher crystal purity and density result in a deeper blue color and higher value.
Its primary applications are in luxury food industries, international restaurants, and export packaging; used for seasoning steak, seafood, salads, grilled dishes, and final food presentation. Due to its unique appearance, it is also used in decoration, spa products, and luxury gifts.
