Seagreens® The Mineral Salt

An ideal mineral balanced alternative to table salt.

Use wherever salt is used, significantly broaden the nutritional profile of your food.

Seagreens® Organic Mineral Salt contains 50% Dorset Sea Salt and 50% Seagreens® classic ready-milled grains of wild Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed.

It can be used in everything from soups to risottos – or wherever salt is used – and sprinkled onto almost any raw or cooked food.

What's in it

Our glass shaker contains 50% dried granulated Seagreens® native wild Wrack seaweed Ascophyllum nodosum, whose composition and health benefits Seagreens has studied and documented for over two decades and 50% natural Dorset sea salt. Nothing added or extracted. Non-allergenic.

What it does

Think of it as olive green ground pepper-and-salt in one, and healthier than any kind of salt alone.

You get salty, mineral and umami flavours from a comprehensive balance of nutrients which moderates the potential harm and intensity of pure sodium chloride. Half the salt, twice the flavour!

International studies have shown the significant correspondence between reduced daily salt intake and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and stomach cancer*

A low salt intake of 4-6g daily halved the cancer risk of 12- 15g a day in men; in women it was 35% lower**. 50% wrack seaweed with 50% salt was an antidote in rats fed salt at levels causing heart failure***.

Seaweed is also a good source of iodine which contributes to normal thyroid, nervous system and cognitive function and the maintenance of normal skin. * Ge S, et al.

Nutritional Information - Seagreens® The Mineral Salt

The Mineral Salt per 2 grams (½ teaspoon) provides:

Amino acids:

Alanine 0.17 mg, Arginine 0.15 mg, Asparagine 0.25 mg, Aspartic acid 0.21 mg, Cystine and Cysteine* 0.14 mg, Cystathionine 0.25 mg, Glutamic acid 0.26 mg,, Glutamine 0.25 mg, Glycine 0.16 mg, Histidine 0.14 mg, Homocysteine 0.25 mg, Hydroxyproline 0.25 mg, Isoleucine 0.15 mg, Leucine 0.17 mg, Lysine 0.17 mg, Methionine 0.14 mg, 1- Methylhistidine 0.25 mg, 3-Methylhistidine 0.25mg, Ornithine 0.25 mg, Phenylalanine 0.15 mg, Phosphoserene 0.73 mg, Proline 0.17 mg, Sarcosine 0.25 mg, Serine 0.16 mg, Taurine 0.25 mg, Threonine 0.16 mg, Tryptophan 0.14 mg, Tyrosine 0.14 mg, Valine 0.16 mg. *Cysteine is a non-essential methionine amino acid derivative formed in collaboration with vitamins B6 and B12 whereas cystine, a compound formed when two amino acids form a disulfide bond, is a more stable semi-essential amino acid.

Higher levels in seaweed may indicate the coincidental collection of sand during harvesting and is indicative of low grade seaweed unlikely to have been produced to standards for human nutrition.

Although neither vitamin nor mineral, it is often included in the vitamin B complex. It benefits liver, brain, muscles and the nervous system and is involved in many processes such as cell structure and messaging, fat transport and metabolism, and DNA synthesis.

Customer Reviews of Seagreens® The Mineral Salt


Life changing

When I first came across this product by chance years ago I didn't have much faith in it but I was proved wrong as daily my ill health improved and im a super sensitive celiac as in the 80s they said food allergy was a mental problem. Because of being ignored as my health deteriorated im in the 30% of people who cannot tolerate even a trace of gluten or dairy so staying healthy is very hard and very expensive as the cross-grain certificate does not apply to me or people like me who have recently been told during the first lockdown that

we have hypersplenism and a damaged auto immune system as we carried on destroying our bodies because we were told we were mad in the 80s so we continued eating the only food we could. My weight was as low as 6 stone because of this.I had salmonella in 1984 which nearly killed me and started my body rejecting gluten and dairy.

Then happily in 2004 I was about to have a mmr scan and I was in shock from gluten and dairy and I was told I had severe malnutrition.The government still said it was imaginary but the nurses disagreed.

Once an M.Ps daughter was allergic to nuts things changed.

I say all this just in case someone my age who has the same condition and needs to heal their body reads this and takes a chance on this product as I did .

In the busy lifestyle, we have today people find it easier to eat for convenience not health or if you do try and eat a healthy diet it is expensive.

With just a small sprinkle of this tasty salt into a dish, you are helping your body especially your immune system to stay healthy conveniently and cost-effectively.

Also, it makes me happy being a Druid/Witch that the product is Gaia friendly.

Like my heading states when you start to use this salt it changes your life for the better as I believe a healthy body leads to a healthy mind and vice versa

I'm a very happy and now a very healthy customer so I send a big thank you.

Brightest blessings.
