Dead sea mineral salts ARE NOT for culinary use. 

This mineral salt is extracted from the floor of the Dead Sea. Also known as the Salt Sea, this body of water reaches a depth of 2300 feet below sea level at its deepest part and its location marks Earth’s lowest elevation on land. It is actually a lake—the deepest hypersaline lake in the world and laden with magnesium, potassium, calcium chlorides, bromides and other natural mineral salts. In terms of total concentration, the sea contains nearly 10 times more salts than sea water.

For centuries, people have flocked to the Dead Sea to soak in its restorative water. Fortunately, you don’t have to travel to the Middle East to enjoy this salt at home in your own bathtub or Jacuzzi.

The waters of the Dead Sea are unique, having a total salt concentration that is 10 times higher than ocean water, reaching 33 % versus 3 %. But that’s not all! The composition of the dead sea salt is also unique, comprising magnesium, potassium and calcium chlorides, in addition to a high concentration of bromides.

This extraordinary chemical composition has made the Dead Sea an ideal spot for people seeking relief from skin and rheumatic disorders, and an equally popular choice for vacationers seeking relaxation. In fact, these soothing miracle-working waters have a reputation that dates back over 2000 years when the Roman historian Flavius noted… Dead Sea salt cannot be praised too highly… When visiting travelers take this salt home.
