This is a wonderful large salt crystal that really adds color and flavor to any dish you would accent with salt. It does disolve quickly so use it just before serving.

I love the taste of this salt, as another viewer did state the black coloring of the salt does spread. The salt crystals are a good size with out being over powering.

Salt is not one of the she's she recommends but she is using this and loves it.

The black salt seems a little bit mouisture. When you are seasoning in you dish or pan, the black colour may spread over.

"Although not as popular as the traditional red alaea salt, hawaiian black sea salt, or lava salt, is a dramatic, glossy black sea salt. The unique color comes from lava, which adds minerals and activated charcoal which results in a sulfuric aroma and earthy flavor.

hawaiian black sea salt is used both as a finishing salt and a roasting salt. It is often used as a coating on fish to help preserve both flavor and moisture as it bakes.
