Hawaiian Red Alaea Sea Salt, Fine Grain
Details
Danielle D. started Flour & Herbs in 2020 in Murrieta, California, with a bread mix she wanted to share with home bakers. Years of experimenting with bread, herbs and spices led her to make seasonings and food gifts for the same meals she liked to serve to friends. The woman-owned business mixes in small batches and makes its blends without fillers.
Hawaiian Red Alaea Sea Salt is a fine-grain red finishing salt that the maker describes as sea salt mixed with purified volcanic red clay. It gives cooked food a red finish that shows up well on lighter ingredients.

Care
Serving and storage
Try a small pinch on roast pork, grilled shrimp or a plate of sliced pineapple. Add it at the table so the color remains visible when you serve the food.
The red grains also work over roasted squash or vegetables. Use the amount called for in your recipe if you are cooking with it, and taste before adding an extra pinch.
Finishing salt is easiest to judge after the food is cooked. Start with a small pinch over one serving and taste for both flavor and texture. For a recipe that calls for a precise amount of another salt, use the salt specified in the recipe and season at the table if desired.
For more background, see the FDA’s guide to reading food labels.
Keep the jar closed in a cool, dry cupboard, away from heat and steam. Measure with a clean, dry spoon and follow the best-by guidance on the package. If you set a small bowl of salt out for a meal, keep it separate from the rest of the jar.
