4. Dark Horse Black Lava Salt
Sourced directly from Hawaii, bring a little lava into your holiday. Black Lava Sea Salt is a little more sulfuric and smoky in taste. The charcoal component within the lava salt acts as a detoxifier, and also helps with hydration regulation. You can cook with it so simply use as a garnishing salt as it adds a beautiful flavor and a pop of healthy goth beauty onto any dish.
