Persian Sapphire Blue Salt

We like salt and have a huge assortment of different kinds. Having never heard of Persian Sapphire Blue, I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son. I like medium coarse salt and thought that the Persian Blue may be too large but it has a much more delicate taste than the typically salt of that size. When I read the description: "A very clean, initially sharp salty flavor evolves into a softer pure salt flavor", I couldn't understand it, but, as another reviewer succinctly wrote "As advertised". Unfortunately, it is very expensive which will make it hard to keep on hand.

There were about 3 specks of blue in the salt. Bought as gift. They were like “oooh, salt.” Was not blue.

Now I feel good about adding salt back into my diet.

Interesting and unique flavor

Great product. Thanks

Love these Sapphire blue salts. They come in a great jar, with spoon on the side and a cork top. Lasts a long, long time, and the flavor is so distinctive, plus provides necessary rare minerals in the diet.

As advertised

In vitro cyanide release of four prussian blue salts used for the treatment of cesium contaminated persons.Verzijl JM, et al. J Toxicol Clin Toxicol. 1993.Show full citationAbstractPrussian blue salts are used in clinical practice as an antidote for the treatment of humans contaminated with radioactive cesium. A decomposition product of these Prussian blue salts may be the highly toxic cyanide. A method to simulate gastrointestinal cyanide-release was applied to four different Prussian blue salts: K3Fe[Fe(CN)6], Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3, NH4Fe[Fe(CN)6] (pur. and unpur.). Cyanide-release was higher in artificial gastric juice than in water and artificial intestinal juice. Under all conditions cyanide-release from Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 was the lowest. Since Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3 also binds more cesium, it appears to be the most suitable Prussian blue salt for use as an antidote after radiocesium contamination in humans.
