What Is Bamboo Salt?
Bamboo salt (죽염, jukyeom) is sea salt that’s packed into bamboo trunks, sealed with clay, and then roasted at high temperatures. This traditional Korean method was originally designed to detoxify and mineralize sea salt, enhancing both its health benefits and energetic purity.
But the real magic? It’s in how it’s made—and who makes it.

Pure Minerals. Centuries of Craftsmanship.
Insan’s Purple Bamboo Salt is produced through a traditional Korean process passed down for over 150 years. Sea salt is sealed inside bamboo, coated with natural red clay, and roasted nine times at temperatures nearing 1,700°C. This meticulous method transforms the salt’s structure, enriching it with diverse trace minerals while reducing impurities. The result is a naturally alkaline, mineral-rich salt known for its deep purple hue and clean, balanced taste—ideal for cooking, oral care, and daily wellness routines.
