Salt can be more than simple sodium chloride. In addition to the main ingredient found in saline, various minerals in varying concentrations and composition are contained in salt. The contents of these elements depends mainly on the origin of the salt. The characteristic color of the black Hawaiian salt comes from the added activated carbon, which provides a pleasant, mild flavor and is made from coconuts. In addition, the carbon can also act as an antioxidant and digestive helper. That lava or volcanic ash contained in the black Hawaiian salt, however, is nothing more than a fairy tale. Similar to ordinary sea salts, black Hawaiian salt is optimally suited for seasoning fish and seafood, meat and vegetables. In addition to its own unique taste, the black Hawaiian salt gives the food a exotic look.
