Bamboo salt, a traditional Korean condiment, is created by roasting sea salt in bamboo stalks sealed with mineral-rich clay. This unique process enriches the salt with minerals and imparts a distinctive flavour. Beyond its culinary uses, bamboo salt offers several health benefits.
Bamboo Salt (Jukyeom) is a traditional Korean salt with a history stretching back almost 1,000 years, originally developed by Korean doctors and monks as a folk remedy. It's made through a slow, labour-intensive process: sun-dried sea salt is packed into bamboo trunks, sealed with natural yellow clay rich in minerals, and roasted in a furnace fuelled by pinewood. As the bamboo burns away, minerals from the clay, bamboo, and pine resin leach into the salt, transforming it into something far more complex than ordinary sea salt.
Our Bamboo Salt is roasted nine times, the highest traditional grade. Each additional roast increases purity and mineral concentration, and by the ninth roast, the salt reaches extremely high temperatures, melting and cooling into its distinctive purple-grey form, which is why 9-times-roasted bamboo salt is often called "purple bamboo salt." This repeated roasting removes far more impurities than a single roast and concentrates over 70 minerals into the final product, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, potassium, and zinc. It's also naturally rich in sulphur, giving it a notably alkaline profile compared to ordinary table or sea salt.
Bamboo Salt has long been valued in Korea for more than seasoning alone. It's traditionally used as a tooth powder for oral care, as a facial and body scrub prized for its mineral richness, and stirred into water as part of traditional wellness routines.
Bamboo Salt brings centuries of Korean tradition and a uniquely dense mineral profile to your daily routine.

Must have this daily in warm water. I use .3g and it gives me energy, minerals, hydration, keeps everything moving in the right direction. Absolutely love this salt!!
Add to my cooking and tasted nice so different to normal salt.
I used this salt in the morning as a refreshing and neutralising drink / mouth rinse. I find the flavour unusual but it tastes great on all meat dishes. I have completely replaced other salts with the bamboo salt due to the superior mineral content.
I just can’t resist the incredible flavour of this salt. It lifts every food it touches to gourmet level.
This is without any doubt one of the best po eructs I have ever purchased! I am absolutely addicted to it .. I can seriously feel it doing good as soon as i have it .. will never not have this in my kitchen 👏🏻
