[Medicinal Korean Herbal Powder] 100% Natural 3 Times Roasted Korean Bamboo Salt/Jugyeom 3번 구운 죽염 소금 (16oz)

During baking the salt absorbs the bamboo constituents that bring a distinctive sweetness, which is called Gamrojung flavor. ** Directions Add adequate amount for cooking and baking for a great flavor.
