This Hawaiian sea salt has a beautiful rust color and intensely earthy flavor thanks to naturally occurring iron-rich red clay where the salt is harvested.
In Hawaii, alaea salt is used with all types of pork. We also like it in a Thanksgiving turkey rub, in the marinade for grilled shrimp, as a finishing touch on sautéed snapper fillets or, for a multihued starter, sprinkled over caprese salad. Great for adding a dash of color to any dish, red Hawaiian salt is also fun to use on the edge of a Bloody Mary glass or in playful creations like brownies or chocolate cupcakes sprinkled with red sea salt.
