The seasoning in sachets for your soups and broths.
At Marisma Biomed, we have developed a drying and grinding system for Salicornia that preserves many of its healthy components. To produce our Marine Seasoning, we retain ground salicornia grains and dried twigs, which, when infused, release all the plant's minerals and polyphenols into the cooking water of your broths, soups, or other dishes.
With our marine seasoning, you obtain a salty taste without the need to add table salt to your dishes. It has a high calcium and iodine content and much less sodium than table salt, making it a very healthy and interesting option for people who cannot consume salt or who want to eat healthier.
In addition to its salty flavor, our Marine Seasoning releases vegetable aromas reminiscent of marshes and adds an exceptional marine touch to your cooking.

Studies
Studies
The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched an initiative to reduce salt consumption and recommends no more than five grams per adult per day. However, the majority of the population consumes twice this amount.
The WHO advises that adults should not exceed two grams of sodium per day (equivalent to five grams of salt), but most people consume an average of nine to twelve grams of salt daily. "It is estimated that 2.5 million deaths could be prevented each year if global salt intake were reduced to the recommended level," states the health agency, which aims to reduce global salt consumption by 30% by 2025.
Research has been conducted on the incorporation of Salicornia salt in various food matrices. By replacing 1% NaCl with an equal amount of Salicornia perennis, a 70% reduction in sodium content can be achieved, significantly contributing to lowering the total salt content in the diet [Clavel-Coibrié E et al. Foods] [Sood S et al. Food Chem].
A pilot clinical trial in Portugal with young, healthy individuals demonstrated that replacing table salt with salicornia vegetable salt led to a reduction in sodium excretion in the intervention group. This was followed by a significant reduction in brachial and aortic systolic and diastolic blood pressure [Pereira T, et al. Foods].
