Peruvian Pink Salt
Your kitchen should have a few varieties of salt on hand, because salt, in moderation, makes everything better.
Flower of Bali is only available in limited quantities. It is hand harvested once a year by evaporating sea water in hollowed out trunks of palm trees. Crystals form on the very top of the water and are hand gathered. Best used as a finishing salt. $15 saltworks
There are salts harvested in palm trunks.
Salish Smoked Salt is organic Pacific Sea salt that is cool smoked over red alderwood. No artificial coloring or flavoring is added. $16 at saltworks.com

My personal favorite, Hawaiian sea salt
If I may make a personal recommendation, try the Old Time Alaea Hawaiian sea salt. It’s amazing, it’s a pretty coral color, and available from Long’s pharmacy (located all over Hawaii) for about $5. You can also order online (it will cost a bit more, but still less than a flight to Hawaii) from salthawaii.com.
