If you’re sourcing bamboo salt for your wellness brand, organic product line, or retail distribution, you’ve likely come across different grades—1x, 3x, and 9x. But what exactly do these numbers mean? And which one is the right choice for your business? At Bharat Global Shipping, we specialize in premium bamboo salt (1x, 3x, 9x Purple, and Powder), crafted using authentic Korean techniques right here in India. Here’s a detailed guide to help you choose the best bamboo salt for your customers’ needs.
What Do “1x”, “3x”, and “9x” Mean?
