Low Sodium salt – Silvinite: A Naturally Better Salt Choice

Silvinite is a 100% natural salt product sourced from the Salar de Atacama—one of the oldest and most mineral-rich salt flats in the world, located in the arid north of Chile’s Atacama Desert. Known as the driest place on Earth, this unique environment allows salt to form naturally over centuries through the evaporation of mineral-rich water.

Silvinite is harvested through solar evaporation, using only the power of the sun to concentrate salts without any chemical refining. The result is a unique mineral salt blend that:

  • Contains less sodium than regular table salt

  • Is rich in potassium, calcium, and magnesium

  • Naturally includes trace elements like lithium and iodine

  • Offers a mild, full-bodied flavor perfect for everyday use

Silvinite fits perfectly into a healthy lifestyle and is suitable for both household use and applications in the food industry.

Test Partners Wanted in the EU

We are currently looking for food processing companies, bakeries, catering companies, and food manufacturers across the European Union that are interested in testing a natural low sodium salt in real production environments.

Our product is a naturally occurring mineral salt sourced from the Atacama Desert in Chile. Due to its natural mineral composition, it contains approximately 33% less sodium than conventional salt, while having a higher potassium content. This makes it an interesting ingredient for food producers who want to reduce sodium levels in their products without using artificial blends or chemical replacements.

Product characteristics

  • Natural mineral salt from the Atacama Desert (Chile)

  • 33% less sodium compared to standard salt (NaCl)

  • Naturally higher potassium content

  • No anti-caking agents added

  • Available as fine food grade salt

  • Supplied in 25 kg industrial bags

  • Suitable for industrial food production

Important facts about salt consumption

  • Almost all populations are consuming too much sodium.
  • The global mean intake of adults is 4310 mg/day sodium (equivalent to 10.78 g/day salt). This is more than double the World Health Organization recommendation for adults of less than 2000 mg/day sodium (equivalent to < 5 g/day salt, or approximately one teaspoon).
  • The primary health effect associated with diets high in sodium is raised blood pressure which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, gastric cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, Meniere’s disease, and kidney disease.
  • An estimated 1.89 million deaths each year are associated with consuming too much sodium.
  • Reducing sodium intake is one of the most cost-effective measures to improve health and reduce the burden of non-communicable diseases: for every US$ 1 invested in scaling up sodium reduction interventions, there will be a return of at least US$ 12.

The Growing Demand for Low Sodium Salt in Europe

Across Europe, the demand for healthier salt alternatives is rising rapidly—driven by a combination of public health concerns, shifting consumer preferences, regulatory pressure, and innovation opportunities in the food industry.

Health concerns linked to high salt intake
Excessive salt consumption is a major contributor to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and kidney problems in Europe.
➤ According to the WHO, average daily salt intake across Europe far exceeds the recommended limit of 5 grams of sodium per day.

Consumer trends: natural, balanced, and conscious eating
European consumers are increasingly seeking clean-label foods that are natural, minimally processed, and nutritionally balanced. Salt products that are lower in sodium and higher in essential minerals align perfectly with this shift in dietary awareness.

Regulatory pressure and reformulation
European governments are tightening regulations and urging food manufacturers to reduce sodium levels in their products. Low sodium salt alternatives like Silvinite can help brands meet these targets—without compromising flavor.

Opportunities for innovation in foodservice and manufacturing
Producers, bakers, chefs, and caterers are on the lookout for new flavor-enhancing ingredients that deliver both health benefits and high quality. Silvinite responds directly to this need, offering a clean, natural solution.

Silvinite is more than just a low sodium salt—it’s a mineral-rich, flavorful alternative to conventional table salt, designed to meet the needs of today’s health-conscious European market.
