Phyto Corporation has developed the world's first '100% plant-based salt,'
"PhytoSalt," extracted from Salicornia, a plant containing high contents of salt. PhytoSalt is a naturally low-sodium salt that can reduce sodium intake by 20%. In addition, preclinical trials have revealed PhytoSalt to be effective on high blood pressure.
By desalinating Salicornia, Phyto Corporation has also developed a new superfood & 'low-calorie flour alternative,' "PhytoMeal," that is effective in reducing body fat.
Phyto Corporation holds more than 30 patents to PhytoSalt, PhytoMeal and other Salicornia-based products. In addition, Phyto Corporation recently received the “2019 Korea Outstanding Patent Award” (Biotechnology sector) for its patents.

Salicornia Cultivation,
Seawater Agriculture
• Salicornia is a beneficial and sustainable future food resource that can be mass-cultivated by seawater agriculture, which is a new agricultural method suitable for an age of food shortage resulting from water shortage.
• Seawater agriculture is sustainable and eco-friendly for the future of food;
it does not require the use of any freshwater, fertilizers or pesticides.
• Salicornia is the only edible halophyte that can be cultivated by the seawater agriculture method.
• Salicornia cultivation contributes to the increase of profit for farmers.
