 Fantastic Taste; Haven't Died YetOct 10, 2008
By M. Trask
Wow, I don't know what to say about the "bad idea" review, and it's interesting because the company actually claims the lava salt has positive health effects. For what it's worth, we haven't noticed any change in our health, good or bad, since using this product.
About six months ago a friend gave us some Palm Island Salts (black, red and green) as a housewarming gift and we really love them all. He works in one of those hippie/dippy health/organic foods stores down near Santa Cruz, owned by some very health-conscious people. I'm a meat-lovin' (grass-fed only), organic-produce-eatin' moderate, and it's the taste that causes me to buy this salt and the organic produce I eat, not the health claims.
It's true this salt has activated charcoal as the third ingredient, behind "Natural Pacific Sea Salt" and "Premium Hawaiian Sea Salt," and ahead of "Hawaii Kai Ocean Essence," a trademarked blend of "ocean electrolytes, trace minerals, and elements." Sounds like health-nut market-speak to me, but it sure tastes good!
Our favorite is the black, which is just amazing, but the red is a close 2nd. It's incredible what a difference it makes in the food we cook, compared to other sea salts we use, and all our guests take notice when I use it! We like the green too, but don't use it much. We still use Redmond Sea Salt for day-to-day cooking, and it's very good too, but whenever we want to add something special, we add the black or the red.
We use it very sparingly, as it is quite strong in flavor. A single 6-ounce pouch is only half-empty after 6 months, so a little goes a long way. We actually use the red a little more, as it is nearly as good in taste and much better in appearance.
Not that I doubt the above reviewer about the danger of activated charcoal, but it seems a safe product to me just judging from personal experience, and it is put out by a company that actually seems to have a conscience. You can check out their website at [...]
If you have concerns about the charcoal, try the red!

A great finishing touch over well made mealsSep 02, 2010
By Elena Rego
I first used this while spending my Summer in Maui. The salt itself has a bit of a peppery taste and its a perfect topping/garnish on a dish. Not really for use while cooking as the black melts into the food. But as a topping to lets say... a bowl of watermelon, or grilled fruit? Oh my god! Its amazing. It adds a dash of surprising flavor and a visual touch as well.

Love it!Sep 25, 2009

"Si usted puede leer esto, da gracias a una profesora de español."
I was lucky enough to taste this salt while on a whale watch cruise in Hawaii. I have not forgotten it. I don't know or care about the vitamin or mineral qualities of the black sea salt because I don't think you eat salt for the healthy qualities of it. This salt simply tastes amazing! I am so happy to find it for sale on Amazon, it's not exactly something you can go out and buy in Texas. :)
Wonderful tasty Hawaiian sea saltMay 13, 2011

This is the best black Hawaiian sea salt that I have ever had!
This one is moist, rich flavor, and had a beautiful deep black color.
It has a better flavor overall and really bumps up the flavor of whatever it is added to. My favorites: heirloom tomatoes, mango, fresh fresh tossed salad.
Two thumbs up!

 Stupid ideaSep 07, 2008
By Trurl
So this is sea salt, with added activated charcoal.
Now I have nothing against activated charcoal -- it is indeed a miracle product and one of the few 'medicines' I have in the house.
But, it will leach minerals and nutrients from what ever it is added to. That is why it is part of the 'universal antidote'. (google this for more info).
So, I use it topically for poisons (insect bites ) and internally for some sicknesses, but never as part of my daily diet.
This could be a poster product for the 'style over substance' culture...
