The Perfect Salt Alternative:
Saltbush delivers a naturally savoury, slightly saline flavour with deep umami notes, allowing you to cut back on conventional salt without sacrificing taste.
Nutrient-Rich Seasoning: This incredible native herb is packed with essential minerals, antioxidants, and trace elements, adding a healthy boost to every meal. The plant's natural saltiness comes from a mix of mineral salts, often including more beneficial trace minerals than pure sodium chloride (table salt).

Crucially, it provides a healthy balance of both sodium and Potassium, which is vital for fluid balance, nerve signals, and muscle function.
- Calcium: An excellent plant-based source of Calcium, essential for bone health and density.

- Vitamins A and C: It provides beneficial amounts of Vitamin A (important for vision, immune function, and cell growth) and Vitamin C (an essential antioxidant that supports the immune system).Folate (Vitamin B9): Research has indicated that Saltbush can be a source of folate, which is critical for DNA synthesis and repair.
