A Sea Salt Blend Packed with Hawaiian Heat
Black lava salt has key healthy minerals infused into the salts due to the medicinal properties of charcoal. However, original black lava salt found naturally also contains harmful substances like sulfur.
That did not stop Laura Cristobal Andersland from developing her own version of black lava salt—one without the dangerous impurities. She infuses food grade activated charcoal with fresh sea salt crystals to create salt blends that can help reduce gas, lower cholesterol, absorb stomach acid, and even prevent hangovers.
Laura uses her trademarked black lava salt for a number of Salty Wahine’s seasonings, but perhaps one of the most popular ones is the award-winning Hot Lava Salt. Winning first place for salt in the 2019 Artisan Flave Awards, Hot Lava blends the medicinal black lava salt with garlic and chili peppers, making it a perfect seasoning for a hot summer barbecue or dish of any season.
