frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the black and blue packs? 2018-02-13T15:54:46+00:00

The black labeled Crystals dry naturally solely with the power of the sun, which is a time consuming procedure. Their production depends on the sunshine rate of the area and is therefore limited.

Blue labeled Crystals dry naturally with clean air and therefore can be produced and be available throughout the year.

How do we know that the spot chosen for the water collection is the cleanest in the Aegean Sea? 2018-02-13T16:00:05+00:00

As documented by the maps of the Institute of Oceanography that you can find in our site, it is not only one of the cleanest in the Aegean but also one of the cleanest in the world because of the strong underwater currents in the area, that constantly renew the seawater. To avoid surface pollutants that would require further processing, water is pumped 500 meters from the coast and from specific depths.

How do the “Aegean Sea Crystals” differ from “Himalayan salt”? 2018-02-13T15:59:31+00:00

The authentic Himalayan salt is a mineral ore and cannot be compared to  unique & natural, non-refined Aegean Sea Crystals. Being a mineral itself, the Himalayan salt cannot be easily expelled from the human body, thus burdening the kidneys’ function.

How do the “Aegean Sea Crystals” differ from “rock salt”? 2018-02-13T15:58:14+00:00

Rock salt is good, but it can’t be flawless since it is exposed to environmental pollutants (ship waste, bird dirt, etc.). Therefore, it must be thoroughly washed and undergo a minimum process that cannot guarantee the desired purity levels. Moreover, even the slightest process causes the reduction of the water soluble minerals they contain. The same applies to salt from sea salt marsh.

How to use the “Aegean Sea Crystals” 2018-02-13T15:57:39+00:00

They can be used exactly like cooking and table salt to flavor raw and/or cooked food. The Aegean Sea Crystals are incomparably superior to all other natural or table salts found in sea salt marsh and rocks. These salts can never be 100% natural since they undergo even a minor processes to meet hygiene standards and be classified as edible.

What do the Crystals contain? 2018-02-13T15:56:51+00:00

They contain all the sea water minerals and micronutrients that are essential to the human body and its immune system function while being also rich in magnesium & zinc. The total absence of processing and refining, contributes to perfectly preserving all these elements.

How are the Crystals of the Aegean Sea produced? 2018-02-13T15:56:13+00:00

The Aegean Sea Crystals are unique & natural. They come from ultrapure sea water sourced from specific depths at one of the cleanest parts of the Aegean Sea.

Their production is based on natural condensation and crystallization of seawater under the power of the the sun, in a controlled environment, protected from environmental pollutants and without any further process, additives or refining.

They have absolutely nothing in common with salt coming from sea salt marsh or rocks.
