We know that dehydration is painfully slow &#8211; the dehydration process takes at least <\/span><b>8 hours <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for most of our ingredients and for our scallops and shrimps, they need at least <\/span><b>14 hours<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; but we\u2019re doing this to retain the maximum nutrients we can in our powders.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on our research and analysis, the nutrition content in our Ikan Bilis powder is reduced by 10% to 30% when we used the dehydration method. However, if we were to bake them, 50% to 70% of their nutrition will be lost. This result is similar for other powders.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another example is the preservation of <\/span><b>Folic Acid <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in our seaweed powder. <\/span><b>Folic Acid<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a type of vitamin B that is essential for pregnant ladies. In the early stages of a baby\u2019s development, folic acid helps form the neural tube.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is very important because it can help prevent some major birth defects of the baby\u2019s brain (anencephaly) and spine (spina bifida)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Other nutrients in the powder are also more well-preserved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crystal of the Sea aims to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enrich your every meal by <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">providing affordable yet nutritious and delicious products for families, using premium ingredients that are all-natural. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> maintaining the highest standard of production, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we also heavily invest in research and development.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rest assured that you receive the highest possible standards in food safety and nutrition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">find us on Instagram <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">@<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/crystalofthesea.sg?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=\">cystalsea.sg<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and on our <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/\">official website<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
