Phyto Corporation is a disruptive agri-food tech company advancing
health and sustainability through its groundbreaking technologies:
Plant-Based Salt and Nature-Based Blue Carbon Solutions powered
by Salicornia.
Our flagship product, PhytoSalt, is the world’s first plant-based salt,
enabling a 40% reduction in sodium intake. Food products incorporating PhytoSalt not only support healthier diets but also help reduce their
carbon footprint or achieve carbon neutrality.
Additionally, Salicornia cultivation plays a vital role in addressing
climate change by acting as a Nature-Based Blue Carbon Solution.
With our proprietary technology, each hectare of Salicornia can capture approximately 493 tons of CO₂ annually, offering a scalable and
impactful solution to global climate challenges.

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.
Phyto Corporation holds 37 patents to PhytoSalt, PhytoMeal and other Salicornia-based products.

Salicornia Cultivation,
Seawater Agriculture
• 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.
