With the products coming from Hawaii and the firm's business operations out of San Diego, CA Hawaii Kai products employ a company developed technology on the island of Molokai. For centuries, Hawaiians on the tiny island of Molokai have harvested salt from the clean, clear waters. Commercial table salt contain approximately 99% sodium chloride. Scientific analysis of the Molokai "whole salt" harvested by traditional methods determined that it contained only 81% sodium chloride. The remaining 19% was comprised of some 80 natural elements, electrolytes, and trace minerals that imparted the salt's exceptional taste qualities. That research led to the establishing of technology company able to produce the world's finest gourmet sea salts in commercial quantities, laying the foundation for a unique, micro-economic business model for Molokai residents. In the Hawaiian language, "kai" means "ocean," the source of life, so the fledgling company was named Hawaii Kaiwith a mission to produce an incomparable suite of ocean-based products, bringing to the world the essence of the source.
