Harvesting

Hawaiian lava salt, also known as black lava salt, is a unique and sought-after product that is typically grown and harvested through a fascinating process. This special salt is harvested from the Pacific Ocean surrounding the Hawaiian islands. The salt is formed through the evaporation of seawater, which is then mixed with volcanic charcoal, giving it its distinctive black colour and mineral-rich composition.

The harvesting of Hawaiian lava salt usually takes place during the summer months when the sun is at its peak, allowing for optimal evaporation of the seawater. Once the salt is harvested, it undergoes a natural process of drying and crystallization, resulting in its characteristic coarse texture and bold black colour.

Hawaiian lava salt is favoured not only for its unique appearance but also for its rich mineral content, including potassium, magnesium, and calcium. These natural minerals are integral to the salt's composition and provide added nutritional value, making it a popular choice for health-conscious foodies.

The natural raw product makeup of Hawaiian lava salt, with its added nutrients and minerals, makes it a versatile and flavourful ingredient for culinary use, as well as a popular choice for natural skincare products.

The organic nature of Hawaiian Lava Salt means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

The History of Hawaiian Lava Salt

Hawaiian lava salt dates back centuries to the volcanic islands of Hawaii. This unique salt is traditionally hand-harvested from salt ponds formed by the evaporation of seawater, and then mixed with activated charcoal made from coconut shells, giving it a distinctive black colour and earthy flavour. The salt has been a staple in Hawaiian cuisine and culture, used in traditional ceremonies and as a symbol of the islands' natural abundance. Its heritage is deeply rooted in the ancient Hawaiian practice of salt-making, passed down through generations and cherished for its purity and connection to the land and sea.
