Bamboo Jade is a relatively new Hawaiian salt on the market. It owes its green colour and pleasant flavour to the addition of Bamboo leaf extract. This bamboo extract is also prized by the Chinese because it contains amino acids, antioxidants and vitamins. Bamboo Jade is best paired with most Asian cuisine including stir-fry, soup, and meat dishes.

what was burned to create the charcoal
the origin; each brand of salt contains different amounts or types of trace minerals
