Fijian Kosher Sea Salt
Only on Wakaya Island will you find Wakaya Perfection Kosher Sea Salt harvested from apple-green Fijian reefs, then solar dried under the island sun. Our large, sparkling crystals retain vitamins and minerals lost in regular salt. That’s one of the reasons so many people prefer our Sea Salt to table salt.
