Alaea Red Hawaiian-Style Fine Sea Salt – Unique Earthy Gourmet Seasoning

MY HERB CLINIC Alaea Red Hawaiian-Style Fine Sea Salt is a premium, unrefined sea salt infused with volcanic red clay, known as 'alaea', sourced from the pristine coastal waters of Hawaii. This traditional Hawaiian salt boasts a distinctive brick-red hue and earthy flavour, making it a cherished ingredient in both authentic Hawaiian dishes and contemporary culinary creations.

The red coloration is derived from iron oxide-rich alaea clay, which not only imparts a unique visual appeal but also enriches the salt with over 80 trace minerals, including iron, magnesium, and calcium. These minerals contribute to the salt's subtle, mellow taste and are believed to offer various health benefits, such as supporting hydration and electrolyte balance.

Key Features:

Personal Note from Krystle:
This is our favourite salt to use at home.  I love to add a sprinkle to a baked camembert - so yum!
