This unique product, with its unusual hue and rich flavor, is the result of traditional harvesting methods passed down from generation to generation.
Salt water is collected from marine lagoons and left in the sun to evaporate, allowing the salt crystals to naturally absorb minerals from the clay.
The reddish color of the salt comes from alaea clay, rich in iron, which naturally mixes with the sea salt during its crystallization process.
This clay not only gives the salt its distinctive hue but also adds a subtle nutty undertone to its flavor.
Hawaiian red salt, also known as Alaea, is popular in culinary applications for enhancing the taste of meats, fish, and vegetables.
