Shockingly good, so aptly named OMG and slightly off-centered to include kimchi in the name. The maker of Big Sur Salts ferments the base ingredients for weeks to make kimchi, dehydrates it all, and then adds the other ingredients to create this soon-to-be cult classic vegan craft salt.

  • In ceviche or poké.
  • Sprinkle on rice or avocado toast.
  • As a finishing salt on salads or fish.

The resulting product is something magical; a way to enjoy the sensory pleasures of this bountiful natural resource without stepping foot - or leaving a footprint.
