What Is Black Lava Sea Salt?

What is Black Lava Sea Salt? Black Lava Sea Salt is a Hawaiian specialty salt made by combining solar-evaporated Pacific sea salt with activated charcoal — the same food-grade charcoal used in wellness and detox applications. The charcoal gives the salt its signature jet-black color and silky texture, while complementing the natural mineral flavor of the sea salt. It is traditionally used as a finishing salt for visual impact, flavor complexity, and its believed health benefits.
