Description

Pink salt, commonly known as Himalayan salt, is a high-quality, mineral-rich salt that is harvested from ancient salt deposits found in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, particularly in regions of Pakistan. It is considered one of the purest forms of salt available, largely due to the fact that it has remained untouched by modern environmental pollutants for millions of years. The salt is typically hand-mined, preserving its natural integrity, and is unrefined, retaining a range of minerals that are often stripped away in conventional table salt.

The distinctive pink hue of the salt is a result of the minerals it contains, particularly iron oxide (rust), which gives it its rosy color. The salt crystals can range in color from pale pink to deeper reds, depending on the mineral content. In addition to iron, pink salt also contains trace amounts of magnesium, potassium, calcium, and other essential minerals that contribute to its potential health benefits.
