Introduction of types of Iranian blue salt
Blue salt crystal is a rare gem that remains from the evaporation of the oldest oceans on the planet. In general, there are very few mineral salt mines in the world. But blue salt is considered one of the rarest of them and the only main and high-quality vein is located in the Garmsar mine of Semnan province. This salt, like rare gold, is obtained by crushing large salt stones. For this reason, its extraction is very difficult, time-consuming and expensive. Iranian blue salt is composed of many minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron and sylivite and has a unique texture, color and appearance.
Blue salt gets its attractive blue color from the mineral potassium chloride, which is found naturally in its crystalline structure and does not contain any additives or artificial substances. The crystal veins that are discovered in large pieces of salt rocks differ in the amount of minerals. Even this difference can be seen in the internal veins of a piece of stone. Crystals and particles extracted from different equivalents of salt can be divided into the following types according to the place of discovery, the amount of color, transparency, vein thickness and crystal size.
- Semnan opaque blue salt
- Crystal blue rock salt
- Pale crystal blue
- Colorful crystal blue
Blue crystal salt is a unique and well-known food ingredient in the world, which unfortunately is less welcomed in Iran due to lack of recognition.
| Product Name | Annual extraction rate |
| Pale blue salt crystal | 6 thousand kilos |
| Medium blue salt crystal | 3 thousand kilos |
| Colorful blue salt crystal | 900 kilos |
| Sugarcane blue | 250 tons |
| Blue peas | 60 tons |
What is the difference between pink and blue salt?
Another famous mineral salt in the world is pink salt. Pink salt is found abundantly in the Himalayan mountains, in the Punjab region of Pakistan. This salt, like the blue salt crystal, has very useful minerals. Also, its pink or red color is due to the high amount of iron element in this salt. In addition to the color and appearance of pink and blue salt, there are differences.
- Despite the fact that these two salts have the same minerals, but their compositions are different. This has caused them to have different nutritional properties. For example, blue salt is more useful for people with blood pressure and nervous problems. While pink salt is used for people suffering from hypothyroidism and diabetes. Also, according to research, pink salt is more suitable than blue salt for regulating blood sugar, improving digestive problems and food digestion.
- Blue salt crystals are only found in Garmsar mines, while pink salt has more mining equivalents in the world.
- In addition to the useful mineral properties of blue crystal salt, its use in food makes food better cooked.
- Since this salt is very rare and in order to extract about one kilo of its blue veins, many salt stones must be crushed, it has higher production costs. Also, the amount of its production during the year does not exceed several tons. But in this sense, pink salt has better statistics than the other sample.
Blue salt or pink salt which one is better?
Considering the properties of mineral salts, the question that arises is whether blue or pink salt is better? In general, blue salt is better than pink salt in terms of its structure and the composition of minerals in it, and it contains the properties of all mineral salts in the world. Ninety-eight percent of blue salt compounds consist of pure minerals, while this amount for pink salt is around eighty-four percent.
All these cases have caused blue salt to be used as a luxury food like caviar in the world’s great restaurants. The taste of blue salt crystal is very different from the common salt in the market. Using it makes the food acidic and gives it an exceptional taste. This salt is very suitable for cooking seafood and makes their taste very delicious.
The salinity of water salt is very high due to the presence of potassium element. Also, the acidic, delicate and lemony taste of blue salt is in no way comparable to ordinary white salts. This feature is one of the unique features of this food which cannot be found in any other mineral salt.
How to use blue salt?
Blue salt is produced in two forms: powder and crystal. In terms of quality and nutritional properties, there is no difference between crystalline and powdered salt, and they differ only in terms of their external structure. Coarse or crystalline salt is used for cooking and powdered salt is used in salads and cold dishes. Blue salt crystal is extremely dry and brittle and can be easily ground. Therefore, do not worry about the method of consuming its large crystals. To use this salt in food, you should pay attention to several points.
- It is better to use blue salt in food, use crystal or its coarse salts. When you use coarse and crystalline salt, the heat energy in the food is used to melt and crush the salt crystal grains and does not damage its mineral structure.
- To preserve the properties of salt, you should add it to other foods in the last stages of cooking.
- Because this salt is composed of minerals and natural ions, it will lose all its properties if exposed to high temperature for a long time. Therefore, it should not be exposed to high heat.
- Since powdered salt has a fragile structure, its use in cooking leads to the loss of beneficial minerals and positive ions in it.
Where is the blue salt mine in Iran?
The veined mines of this salt are found in different parts of Iran. But all of them do not have edible and usable salts. The only edible salts are related to the mines of Semnan, which have a crystalline state and do not have a sugar structure with coarse, non-consumable grains.
One of the oldest blue salt mines in Iran is Malha mine in the southeast of Semnan province. This mine consists of large salt domes whose water salt purity is more than 98%. In other words, each exploratory vein in this mine contains at least 98% pure minerals. In the northern part of this mine, there is Do Dolphin Salt Mountain, whose height of salt rocks is about 10 meters. Various gray, pink, white and blue mineral salts are extracted from this mountain. There are two forms of blue salt rock in Semnan mines. One is Sholat salt, which is specific to the Melahed Mine in Semnan, and the other is crystal salts found in Garmsar mines.
