Originating millions of years ago in ancient oceans that eventually dried up and left behind extensive salt flats, Persian blue salt, also known as Halito Blue Salt, is now harvested in the mountainous regions of Iran.
Its remarkable blue color, which can vary from light blue to almost violet, is due to the presence of the mineral sylvinite (containing potassium), making its appearance truly captivating.
This mineral is considered one of the rarest and most valuable.
The presence of minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, and iron makes this salt not only tasty but also beneficial.
It stimulates the production of digestive enzymes and, as a result, can contribute to better nutrient absorption.
Some studies suggest that trace elements in such natural salts may not only improve digestion but also have antioxidant properties.
