Origin
Over 20 years ago we began working to fulfill our dream of bringing superior quality sea salt to markets worldwide. After five years of negotiations, we finally succeeded in obtaining a special permit from the Mexican government which allowed us to analyze many of the salt flats at the largest and best large scale salt production area in the world. We were then able to hand pick the salt we wanted to harvest.
The location of the salt flats is ideally located on the western coastal desert of the peninsula of Baja California, at Guerrero Negro, 500 miles from any source of man made pollutants. SiSalt is naturally dried under the high energy environment of sun and constant winds. These forces, combined with scarce rainfall, a lack of hurricanes and storms, and the absence of marine pollution sources, bestow ideal conditions for the harvesting of the highest quality sea salt.
Sisalt is harvested only after the slow and gradual biological processes needed have completed their cycle. At the start of this process, water is siphoned from the adjacent bay, Laguna Ojo de Liebre, which has a temperature several degrees higher than the open sea thus acting as a natural salinity condenser. This water is then pumped into a series of concentration ponds from which calcium carbonates and other undesirable solids are precipitated. The resulting brine is then ready to be poured into the spirallic flow of the crystallization ponds. The floor of these ponds is composed of a layer of crystallized sea salt that is 6 to 7 feet deep. From the first condensation pond to the time of harvest it takes 1 1/2 to 2 years to complete.
After harvesting, the salt crystals are rinsed once in sea water and then are ready for grinding. The grinding is done with traditional spiral cut granite masa grinders. These stones are perfectly suited for grinding the salt since they allow it to retain its crystalline structure in the final product. The salt is then ready for packaging and distribution.
From the oriental understanding of food and energy we realize another essence to our food products – they call it Ki (or Chi). It is the culmination of the energetic characteristics and represents the underlying life force of food – the universal energy that guides us through our long journey. It is incorporated within all entities and the strength and purity of that Ki helps determine the strength and purity of our spirit. Our spirit, in turn, guides the functions of our physical and emotional body. We should look for and incorporate this Ki in all our food. “SiSalt” is based on that principle. It was our intent to find salt that fell within sciences’ guide-lines and then look for and incorporate the greatest Ki.
To do this, we found the most natural processing we could. With the natural step by step process in harvesting and our ability to “hand pick” the salt flats, it’s as if we grew our own food and chose the best part. The salt (after being rinsed in sea water), is then ready for grinding (the salt requires no extra cleaning or boiling). We then grind it in slow natural stone grinders (using spiral cut 12” granite stones). This type of grinding allows the salt crystals to find their own way through the breaking down process, allowing the natural Ki in the salt to maintain itself. You can still recognize the crystalline structure in ground SiSalt. Most other salt grinding uses a hammermill (it’s faster) which indiscriminately crushes the salt disbursing any Ki that it may have. SiSalt is then hand packaged and labeled. Please enjoy our offering as it comes from our heart as well as our understanding.Never underestimate
the power of salt!
Salt has been used for healing in many ways over the centuries. Incorporating salt in the diet is essential to life as our blood must maintain a slight alkaline quality to maintain good health.
That is the reason you will see the SISalt brand name printed in red on every package.
SiSalt is currently available in 1 lb. packages and 25 lb. sacks.
It is sold at retail through stores, at the wholesale level directly to stores and institutions and at the distributer level for wholesale re-distribution. Please contact us for pricing if you are interested in purchasing or distributing SiSalt.
