Hawaiian Grey Lava salt should not be used during the actual cooking process as it will dissolve and the added black elements will simply settle to the bottom. Instead, use it as a finishing salt, where its bold taste can be savored and fully enjoyed. It goes well with all types of seafood, pork and vegetables. Commercial table salt contains approximately 99% sodium chloride. A scientific analysis performed on the Molokai "whole salt" harvested by traditional methods contained only 84% sodium chloride, a distinct health benefit.
