Sustainably Seasoned: Why Cornish Sea Salt Is Worth the Switch

Sustainably Seasoned: Why Cornish Sea Salt Is Worth the Switch

Cornish Sea Salt: The Coastal Seasoning Inspiring a Healthier Way to Sprinkle

As the autumn months roll in, our menus shift from light summer fare to comforting casseroles, warming soups, and slow-roasted vegetables. But in kitchens across Britain, something else is changing too; the salt shaker.

Consumers are moving away from highly processed table salts and towards natural, artisan sea salts that capture the flavour and minerals of the ocean. Leading the wave is Cornish Sea Salt, harvested from the pristine waters around Cornwall’s Lizard Peninsula.

The Salt Revolution

Salt has been a staple of the human diet for millennia, but in recent years it’s been at the centre of a health debate. While our bodies need sodium for essential functions (from regulating blood pressure to transporting nutrients) excessive intake is linked to high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and kidney problems.

Enter the new generation of salts. Natural, minimally processed, and rich in trace minerals, they offer better flavour and a more conscious footprint. Cornish Sea Salt is a prime example:

  • Eco-friendly harvesting in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

  • Rainwater collection & low-energy production

  • Returns seawater to the ocean at natural salinity, protecting marine life

From Cornwall to Your Kitchen, and Beyond

While Cornish Sea Salt is a delicious step towards mindful seasoning, there’s an even greater opportunity for those looking to combine taste, sustainability, and nutritional benefits: Seagreens® The Mineral Salt.

This unique seasoning blends 50% Cornish Sea Salt with 50% wild, organic seaweed from the Scottish Outer Hebrides. The result?

  • Half the sodium of regular salt

  • A complete spectrum of over 60 minerals and trace elements

  • Natural iodine for healthy thyroid function

  • Extra dietary fibre and plant compounds that table salt simply doesn’t offer

Why Seaweed Salt Is a Trend to Watch

The global seaweed market is growing rapidly, and not just because it’s fashionable. Seaweed is nutrient-dense, naturally gluten-free, and sustainably harvested. When paired with high-quality sea salt, you get flavour that encourages you to use less salt overall, helping to tackle the UK’s high-sodium habits without sacrificing taste.

In fact, Seagreens’ research has shown that seaweed salt can replace up to 50% of the sodium chloride in manufactured foods - a change that could improve public health on a large scale.

Whether you’re finishing roasted root vegetables, seasoning a hearty soup, or adding a final flourish to fresh-baked bread, Seagreens The Mineral Salt is a simple way to make every sprinkle count.

You get the heritage, flavour, and eco-conscious story of Cornish Sea Salt - plus the additional nutritional power of organic seaweed. It’s seasoning that works harder for your health.
