"There must be something strangely sacred in salt. It is in our tears and in the ocean," said the Lebanese-American painter, philosopher and poet Khalil Gibran in the 19th century.

Sea salt flakes are extracted from the Arabian Sea. Uniodised and aromatic in terms of taste, these are the properties of the natural sea salt flakes.
