The beautiful color of Molokai Red comes from Alaea, the red, iron rich volcanic clay native to the Hawaiin islands. It is held to be sacred and is used both on its own and combined with salt for various religious and healing practices. Harvested from the pristine waters of Molokai Island in Hawaii, Molakai Red provides a course jumble of moist crystals and butter rich flavor that adds drama and complexity to food, especially poultry, pork and fruits.
