With stunning black color and silky texture, reminiscent of Hawaiis black lava sand beaches, this salt is enriched with activated charcoal. This compliments the natural salt flavor and adds numerous health benefits to the salt. Black Lava salt should not be used during the actual cooking process as it will dissolve and the added black elements will simply settle to the bottom as a residue.

Instead, use it as a finishing salt, where its bold taste can be savored and fully enjoyed. It goes well with all types of seafood, pork and vegetables. Commercial table salt contains approximately 99% sodium chloride. A scientific analysis performed on the Molokai ''whole salt'' harvested by traditional methods contained only 84% sodium chloride, a distinct health benefit.

The remaining 16% was comprised of some 80 natural elements, electrolytes, and trace minerals that imparted the salt's exceptional taste qualities. Research evolved into a vision: to create a new, high-technology company able to produce the world's finest gourmet sea salts in commercial quantities, laying the foundation for a unique, micro-economic business model for Molokai residents.

In the Hawaiian language, ''kai'' means ''ocean,'' the source of life, so the fledgling company was named Hawaii Kai - with a mission to produce an incomparable suite of ocean-based products, bringing to the world the essence of the source.
