- Processing and Packaging - The raw cysts are harvested directly from the Great Salt Lake (Utah), stored at sub-zero temperatures, washed, and dehydrated in modern fluidized bed dryers. The dried cysts are then vacuum-sealed in tin cans (15 or 16 oz.) and packed 12 per case. Storage temperature of finished product is 4 C.
