About Product
Alaea Hawaiian salt is a type of unrefined sea salt from Hawaii made from evaporated seawater.
It is traditionally used for seasoning and preserving food. It is believed to have been used by ancient Hawaiians for centuries. Alaea salt was traditionally made in a special stone bowl called an imu, using seawater evaporating over hot rocks.
The rocks were heated to a very high temperature, and the salt was collected from their surface.
The resulting salt was mixed with a red clay called "alaea," which gave it its characteristic pinkish-red color.
Today, Alaea salt is still a staple of Hawaiian cuisine and is used in many traditional dishes.
Some research suggests that Hawaiian Salt may contain the following constituents:
- Nutrients: Chloride, Sulfur, Magnesium, Iodine
This product is 100% natural and minimally processed: Taste, smell, texture, and color vary from batch to batch.
Suggested Use: Add a dash to any recipe, tea, or smoothie. It also works great when added to a bath.
Mixing suggestions: To increase the flavor and nutritional profile, add a pinch to our whey protein and organic extra-rich cacao powder.
