Gencel Wellness Gensalt
The Ideal Portable Water Ionizer
We take care of every detail in our machines, and Gensalt is one such item in our collection. It is from the infamous Taepyeong Salt Flats.
The process in making Gensalt
Unlike other salt flats in Korea, Sinan-gun and Yeonggwang-gun are unique in their production of salt—they use reclaimed tidal mudflats. The process begins at high tide with the sluicing of seawater into reservoirs. Once the brine reaches a specific concentration, the water is moved to checkered salterns made of silt and clay for natural evaporation which can increase the salinity from 2-3 parts per thousand to 17-25 ppt.
On average salt crystallizes between 1-3 days, but the whole sea to harvest process takes about 25 days. Salt crystals are then stored in silos for 2-3 years in which time the bittern is reduced and the flavor improved.
Why is Sea Salt important?
Salt— namely, solar salt or sea salt according to many Korean foodies—takes center stage for most Korean food. Solar or tidal flat sea salt is unprocessed, moisture-rich and contains diverse minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, kalium and iron from the evaporated mineral-rich sea water which was stirred by winds and kissed by sunrays. With its minerals which expedite fermentation, solar sea salt and good Korean cooking are arguably inseparable..
