Mineralee a Mineral Water you don’t want to Drink. Literally.

 


The Dead Sea is the saltiest lake in the world. It is located on the Syrian-African fault, a geological phenomenon created some three million years ago. Ancient layers of mineral-rich earth were exposed and salt water springs erupted forming a valley containing a closed lake 432 meters (1417 feet) below sea level - the lowest spot on Earth. Thousands of years of evaporation increased the levels of minerals and salts in this lake, known today as the Dead Sea.

The concentration of salts in the Dead Sea is 27% compared with an average of 3% in regular seawater. The composition of the salts is also unique, containing a much higher concentration of magnesium, potassium and bromide than is normally found.

Your average San Pellegrino has Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) of 1,100 mg/l, seawater has a TDS of ~34,000mg/l.

This would make Mineralee the highest concentrated Mineral Water filled in bottles with an estimates TDS of 306,000mg/l.

Just don’t drink it!

Mineralee is recommended as a treatment of Psoriasis, a lifelong skin disease that has affected 5% of the western world population. The most common form of Psoriasis appears as red patches or lesions covered with a white buildup of dead skin cells called scale. Psoriosis is usually found on the elbows, knees scalp and lower back, but some cases have appeared in other areas of the body.

In addition the website for Mineralee, an Israeli company provides the following directions for use:

Matching Bottled Water With Food
The FineWaters Balance categorizes the "mouthfeel" of water based on the level of carbonization in five steps from Still to Effervescent, Light, Classic and Bold. This categorization is the basis of matching water with food in a fine dinig experience.
The Water Glass
When one orders water in a fine dining restaurant it becomes rapidly clear that water is, in most cases, an afterthought. We have been served water in all possible contraptions from heavy whiskey tumblers to long highball glasses and the dreaded lemonade glass. A wide variety of wine glasses are also often used as water glasses. This is not appropriate.
The Flavor of Bottled Water
When tasting water the most important factor in its overall integrated sensation we call flavor is the mouthfeel generated by the size, amount and distribution of the bubbles or the absence of it.
