Item Description
"Old Time" Brand 'Alaea Salt
This is a one pound bag of medium grain "Old Time" Brand 'Alaea Sea Salt packed by HAWAIIAN PA'AKAI INC. in Honolulu, HI.
'Alaea means red volcanic clay. It is the iron oxide in Hawai'i's red clay that tints this salt.
Some ways I have used this salt are:
Sprinkled on beef, chicken, pork, or fish along with fresh garlic or rosemary leaves before grilling
Add to soups, stews, or pot roasts
Season cubed raw tuna (ahi) with alaea salt, green
& sweet onion, chili pepper flakes and sesame seed oil to make a
favorite Hawaiian appetizer: Poke (po-keh) See recipe below.
Fry an egg in a little olive oil and sprinkle a little alaea salt and black pepper on it
I buy frozen cooked edamame (soy beans), put some
(with the pod still on) in a plastic covered container and sprinkle a
pinch or so of 'alaea salt over them. As the beans thaw, I shake the
container to distribute the salt and when they are all thawed, the soy
beans are nicely salted. It makes an 'ono healthy snack. Try it!
Use in any dish where salt is needed. Adds a little color to your dish.
Use this salt sparingly. A little goes a long way.
Hawaiian 'alaea salt is known to have healthful benefits as well making your dishes so tasty ('ono).
Thanks for looking!
