This is different from our ordinary salt in that it is harvested from lava deposits in the Hawaiian Islands. This is the reason for its different color. Red Alaea comes from natural red clay. It is combined with the sea salt to come up with pink tinted salt. The black version comes from Black lava. This Hawaiian sea salt is fortified with minerals are used as a finishing salt. They are usually added to food as a finishing touch to add flavor and enhance the look.
Because they are not easily available, Hawaiian sea salt will make a good gift to the avid cook. They are available in 16- or 32-oz bags. If you are feeling generous they are also packaged in 1 lb. bags. They will love the crunchy texture. They will savor the exotic flavor.
