Description
If the pursuit of your food intake is pure clean and provides a satisfying feeling then this is the salt to use!
The origins of Bamboo Salt date back to Korean Buddhist Monks who cooked the natural sea salt inside bamboo tubes, they would bake it up to 7 times, the baking process of salt increases the mineral content and intensifies the flavour, this the wonderful Monks considered a wonderful seasoning to their diets that help with purification and being one with nature
Who are we are to argue!
Today the process of baking is controlled temperature and backed just once, any further controlled baking intensifies the mineral content too much
Even with controlled conditions this salt is not made in mass production, small production only so stocks are limited and come in and out of stock all year round
Use as a special occasion when the table of food is fitting for the wonderful history of this salt
Extreme - I stress! Extreme Sodium Flavour
Produced in South Korea
Grinder Use - No
Mortar and Pestle Use - No

Quick Reference
What is it?: A Korean-style salt inspired by the Buddhist tradition of heating sea salt inside bamboo tubes.
Flavour: Intense, mineral and slightly alkaline in character compared with ordinary sea salt.
Common uses: Use sparingly as a finishing salt or in simple dishes where its distinctive mineral flavour can be noticed.
Pairs well with: Rice, vegetables, soups, eggs and Korean-inspired food.
Compare with: More processed and mineral-intense than plain sea salt because heat and bamboo form part of its production.
Substitute: A mineral-rich rock salt can provide saltiness, but not the same roasted bamboo character.
Storage: Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from steam and moisture. For smoked or delicate finishing salts, close the pack promptly to protect their aroma and crystal texture.
Good to know: Traditional versions may be baked repeatedly; this version is controlled and baked once to avoid becoming excessively intense.

Bamboo Salt
I consider this salt as a staple, it’s really good for flavouring and sticks well to whatever you dust it on. Whilst a larger grained product works for different things, the fine grained powder of bamboo salt can be amazing! Try it, I don’t think you will be disappointed!!

Tasty salt
I hadn't fully appreciated how much salt could vary in its sheer saltiness until I tried this. This is the salt hit I was seeking for steaks and scrambled eggs, and it has its own distinct mineral flavour as well. If salt was still used to pay wages, this would be the Christmas bonus.
