About Hawaiian Red Alaea Sea Salt...

Traditional used by native Hawaiians in ceremonies and rituals, this unique red sea salt is blending with the mineral-rich volcanic clay called alaea. Its stunning color derives from the particles of volcanic red clay. This salt is intergral to native Hawaiian cuisine and is used to season dishes such a kalua, poke and pipikaula (Hawaiian jerky). This unprocessed sea salt adds rich flavor to roasted and grilled meats, fish and vegetables.

Pink Passion is lighter than Red Alaea and is a traditional Hawaiian table salt used to season and preserve foods. A touch of alaea is mixed with pure Hawaiian sea salt, producing this pretty pink salt.

Black Hawaiian Lava Sea Salt, this dramatic black salt is created by infusing pristine sea salt with activated coconut‑shell charcoal, giving it a glossy obsidian color and a whisper of smoky intrigue.

Kona White Sea Salt, is hand‑tended from start to finish, Kona White Sea Salt forms under the bright Hawaiian sun as seawater slowly evaporates into pure, snow‑white crystals. Its clarity reflects both the ocean it comes from and the meticulous care of its harvest.
