The Umami-Essence Sea Salt is for enhancing flavour in homemade recipes, while helping to reduce sodium. It won the Sial Innovation Selection 2014 and is nominated for the Grand Prix Sial Innovation 2014 (SIAL Innovation 2014 Awards).
Umami-Essence Sea Salt is a propriety liquid formula derived from tomato extract and pure salt from the Red Sea. The tomato extract provides an umami taste to emphasise and improve the rich flavour of many recipes, while allowing for 30% less sodium than table salt.
It was developed at Salt of the Earth’s R&D facilities with support from Practical Innovation, Israel, a consulting firm for developing innovative products.
“Many consumers seek solutions that will allow them to dramatically reduce sodium in their diet on a daily basis, while keeping the great taste of their food,” said Giorit Carmi, marketing manager of Salt of the Earth. “They don’t want to compromise on flavour, and Umami-Essence Sea Salt can help them easily achieve this goal.
“Umami – the so-called ‘fifth taste’ – has become one of today’s hottest culinary trends. Consumers demand healthy products without MSG, and our Umami Salt fits this niche exactly. It can be used in, or even replace, soup powders that contain MSG or preservatives.”
