The bamboo salt guide
Read the number. Find your salt.
K-Lava Salt is Korean bamboo salt, known as 인산가 죽염. Start with the roast count, then explore its texture and how you want to enjoy it.
What does 4x or 9x mean?
The number refers to the roast count. Alkali 4x is roasted four times. Original 9x and Purple 9x are roasted nine times. The nine-roast process takes 25 days, with a final roast at 1,700°C.
Original 9x: a closer look at the craft.
Original 9x brings the nine-roast process to powder and crystal formats. Insanga describes enjoying bamboo salt directly, letting it dissolve slowly in the mouth, as well as using it in food. Follow the directions on your particular product label.
Purple 9x: another expression of nine roasts.
Purple 9x is a separately named product in the K-Lava Salt range, with powder and crystal options in the current catalogue. Compare the selected format and size with Original 9x rather than assuming the number alone makes them the same product.
The next choice
Powder or crystal?
Powder mixes readily through food. Crystals offer individual pieces and a different texture. Insanga also describes enjoying bamboo salt on its own, letting it dissolve slowly. Check the label for your selected product and format. Grain size does not change the roast count.
Choose for food, flavour and texture.
Choose your salt for the food you enjoy, the way you season and the texture you prefer. For ingredients and storage, follow the label on the product you purchase.
