Origin

Description

Seawater is channelled into shallow clay-lined beds (salt pans) and evaporated by the sun. As the water evaporates, salt crystals form. For ʻalaea salt, red volcanic clay is mixed in during the crystallisation process. The salt is harvested, dried, and stored. The Hanapepe Salt Ponds are one of the last traditional salt-making sites in Hawaiʻi and are protected by the families who maintain them.
