Harvesting

Hawaiian Alea Salt, also known as red Alea salt, is a traditional sea salt that is typically grown and harvested in the waters surrounding the Hawaiian islands. The salt gets its distinctive red hue from the volcanic clay, or 'Alaea', that is added to the salt beds during the drying process. This clay not only gives the salt its unique colour but also adds a subtle mineral richness to the salt. The harvesting of Hawaiian Alea Salt is typically done by hand, using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The salt is collected from salt ponds, where seawater is allowed to evaporate, leaving behind the natural salt crystals. This process usually takes place during the dry summer months when the sun and wind aid in the evaporation process. Once harvested, the salt is minimally processed to retain its natural composition and mineral content. It is often stone-ground to achieve its desired texture, and no artificial additives or anti-caking agents are used. As a result, Hawaiian Alea Salt retains its natural balance of minerals, including potassium and iron, making it a healthier alternative to regular table salt.

The organic nature of Hawaiian Alea Red 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.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Hawaiian Alea Red Salt in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
