Phyto Corporation is a disruptive agri-food tech startup
changing the future of food with the world's first plant-based salt,
"PhytoSalt", that can reduce sodium intake by 40%
and is carbon negative (-396kg CO2e per kg).
Food products using PhytoSalt can reduce their carbon footprint
or achieve carbon neutrality.
Salicornia cultivation can also contribute to climate change mitigation through blue carbon as a Nature-Based Solution(NBS). The amount of annual CO2 sequestration by Salicornia is about 493 tons/ha/yr.

Salicornia grows in many seashore lands around the world. It is a halophyte that is raised by seawater and accumulates salt in its body. Salicornia is also known as ‘sea beans’ or ‘sea asparagus,’ and is a nutritious and sustainable food resource. So, people have attempted to consume Salicornia as a food source from a long time ago, but they could not eat it because it was too salty.
Phyto Corporation has, for the first time, isolated salt from Salicornia, and developed a new food resource, “PhytoMeal” which is not salty and thus edible. Further, the company has developed a plant-based salt, “PhytoSalt,” which separates the salt from the Salicornia plant.
PhytoSalt is a naturally low-sodium salt that can reduce sodium intake, so it is effective on high blood pressure. PhytoMeal is a new superfood ingredient that is effective in reducing body fat.

Salicornia Cultivation,
Seawater Agriculture
![Phyto Corporation has developed the world’s first desalted salicornia](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/21b1b8_7b4bff582222400fa61edde7213e4a3b~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_147,h_45,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,blur_2,enc_auto/21b1b8_7b4bff582222400fa61edde7213e4a3b~mv2.jpg)
• Salicornia, called 'sea beans' or 'sea asparagus', is an edible halophyte plant that is a nutritious and functional food resource: https://earth.org/what-is-the-halophyte-plant/
• Salicornia is mass-cultivated by seawater agriculture, which is a climate-smart agriculture (CSA) that addresses the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change.
• Seawater agriculture is sustainable and eco-friendly for an age of food shortage resulting from water shortage; it does not require the use of any freshwater, fertilizers, or pesticides.
• Salicornia seawater agriculture can help solve global food shortages.
Also, "Blue Carbon" through seawater agriculture can mitigate global climate change and generate carbon credits: The "Blue Carbon" ecosystems can store up to 10 times more carbon than tropical rainforests: https://carboncredits.com/the-importance-of-blue-carbon-credits/
• Salicornia cultivation contributes to the increase of profit for local farmers.
