About
The vegetable salts are prepared by mixing both the raw materials {edible oil-bearing salt tolerant plant, Salicornia brachiata (as a source of NaCl), and a red alga, Kappaphycus alvarezii, a carrageenophyte, (as a source of KCl)} in the required proportion to achieve salt with desired NaCl and KCl ratio, incinerating the dry biomass, refining and polishing to obtain white crystalline salt.
