Black Hawaiian salt is highly prized for its deep colour and coarse texture. The colour of this salt comes from activated charcoal, which bonds with the crystals during evaporation, creating a shiny blackness that is surprisingly dark and appealing.
Black sea salt crystals are large, square and glossy black with a subtle taste, which makes it best sprinkled on top of grilled or seared fish and meat where its crunchy texture and pure colour will have the most impact.
