Yuzu Hot Salt is a unique blend of Pacific Sea Salt, spicy peppers, and savory umami. We've combined the fiery kick of Ghost, Scorpion, and Reaper peppers with the bright, tart notes of yuzu and rice wine vinegar. The result is a bold, engaging, and flavorful seasoning with a rich umami finish from shiitake and a hint of turmeric. It’s spicy, refreshing, and unlike anything you've ever tasted.
Expect savory heat, rich umami, and a crisp, tart finish.

The Story Behind the Salt
Our friend Dave Sands—host of the Food Origins podcast—inspired this delicious blend. Dave brings the world of food to life, exploring the stories and traditions behind the people who nourish us. He's a phenomenal chef and food photographer who bridges the gap between culinary nuance and everyday approachability.
Before dedicating himself to food, Dave had a unique career. As a law enforcement officer in the San Francisco Bay Area, he worked with inner-city gang crime. After seeing the cycle of recidivism, he sought to create a new path for the young men he regularly arrested. With his partner, he developed a program that supplemented enforcement with mentorship and family support, helping young people make positive changes in their lives. After a career-ending injury, Dave left law enforcement to pursue his passion for food and community.
We became friends with Dave after falling in love with the food photos and stories he shares. We are proud sponsors of his show and encourage you to check out his work. You can find him on the Food Origins podcast, YouTube channel, and social media at @food.origins_. You'll enjoy his work as much as we do.
Thank you!
