Product description
ROOTZ ORGANICS IODIZED SALT — VACUUM EVAPORATED
Salt is the one ingredient in every meal. Which is exactly why the quality of your salt matters more than most people think.
Rootz Organics Iodized Salt is vacuum evaporated — a purification method that produces a consistently fine, free-flowing grain with high sodium chloride purity (≥96%) and stable iodine content. It is not solar-dried and open-air packaged like most commodity salt. The result is a salt that dissolves evenly, flows freely without clumping, and delivers a consistent, clean flavour with every use.
WHY VACUUM EVAPORATION?
Most table salt is produced by solar evaporation — drying seawater or brine in open pans under the sun. This produces an inconsistent grain size, variable purity and salt that can cake easily in humid climates like the UAE.
Vacuum evaporation processes brine under controlled pressure and temperature in closed systems. The result:
- Higher purity (≥96% sodium chloride)
- Consistent fine crystal size
- Free-flowing grain that doesn't clump in humidity
- Better iodine stability across the shelf life
WHY IODIZED?
Iodine is an essential trace mineral required for normal thyroid function. It is not produced by the body and must come entirely from food. Iodine deficiency is one of the most common micronutrient deficiencies globally, and salt is the most practical vehicle for iodine fortification because it is used universally in small, consistent amounts across all cooking traditions.
HOW TO USE
Use to season food during cooking or at the table to taste.
- Add to boiling water for pasta, rice, pulses and vegetables
- Season proteins before cooking
- Use in dough, batters and bread
- Finish dishes at the table to taste
- Use in pickling, preserving and fermenting (confirm iodine compatibility with specific fermentation cultures — iodine can inhibit some lacto-fermentation)
STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Reseal the pack after every use — exposure to air and humidity allows moisture to enter and can cause clumping and iodine degradation. Vacuum-evaporated salt is more resistant to humidity than solar-dried salt, but resealing is still the best practice.
