Our Salty Story
The World’s Healthiest
Baha Salt is proud to offer the world’s healthiest, most mineral-rich sea salt. With naturally lower sodium and an exceptional concentration of minerals and trace elements, Baha Salt is truly one-of-a-kind.
Heritage Techniques
The tradition of creating sea salt from the Sea of Cortez dates back to pre-Colombian history, when it was prized by Indigenous Tribes. Using time-tested methods passed down through generations, Baha Salt honors tradition.
While international salt mining companies wash their sea salt, removing minerals and leaving nearly pure sodium chloride with limited nutritional value. Baha Salt retains more minerals, containing 70-80% sodium chloride, compared to the 97-99% required for table salt.
Baha Salt Origins
Baha Salt is harvested from an inland lagoon in a remote, pristine estuary on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California, MX. Known for its biological diversity and mineral-rich waters, the Sea of Cortez remains a clean, undeveloped landscape.
Formed over millions of years by sediment from the Colorado River and the strong tides of the Sea of Cortez, the estuary and lagoon where Baha Salt is harvested is a unique natural wonder. Flooded several times a year during high tides, sea water is trapped one foot below sea level as the tides recede.
With air temperatures averaging between 110 – 125ºF (43 – 53ºC) and minimal rainfall, the intense heat and dry desert winds quickly evaporate the water, leaving behind dense, mineral-rich sea water. When the salinity reaches the precise concentration, the seawater is moved into evaporation ponds, where the remaining water evaporates to form Baha Salt.
The Most Minerals and Trace Elements
Unrefined Baha Salt contains all the minerals and trace elements found in seawater, at higher levels than any other mineral sea salt. Our production process and minor sediment from the sandy floor of the retention ponds add extra minerals, giving Baha Salt its off-white to beige hue. Even in minute concentrations, these compounds enhance the taste and aroma.
Natural sea salts vary in mineral content and flavor, but Baha Salt from the Sea of Cortez stands out with the highest mineral content. When sprinkled on food, Baha Salt offers a more complex flavor than common sea and earth salts, which are often just processed sodium chloride. Its naturally low sodium and high mineral content, along with its Sea of Cortez origin, give Baha Salt a distinctive flavor and a pleasant 'sea-air' scent.
