Korean Bamboo Salt, 9x Roasted | Purple Powder | 8.11 oz
K-LAVA Korean Purple Bamboo Salt is an authentic Korean purple bamboo salt (jajukyeom) made in Korea by Insanga (인산가), where sun-dried sea salt is sealed in bamboo and roasted nine times — the final roast hot enough to melt it into deep-purple salt, then finely milled — sourced by Kosbee.
Roasted Nine Times Into Purple Salt
Korean sun-dried sea salt is packed into bamboo, sealed with loess clay, and roasted again and again. On the ninth roast the heat is pushed to its peak, melting the salt into a solid mass that takes on a natural purple-grey color. It is then ground into a fine, free-flowing powder — the form Koreans call jajukyeom.
Bamboo salt, or jukyeom, has been crafted in Korea for generations by roasting sea salt inside bamboo. K-LAVA carries on the 120-year Korean bamboo-salt tradition associated with Insan Kim Il-hun (인산 김일훈), made today by Insanga (인산가).
