Himalayan Fine Salt (Pink)

Himalayan fine pink salt is mined from the Himalayan Mountains and is believed to contain up to 84 trace minerals and elements including sodium chloride (table salt), sulfate, magnesium, calcium, potassium, bicarbonate, bromide, borate, strontium, and fluoride [1]. The varying shades of pink and red come from the presence of iron oxide [2].

Himalayan fine pink salt can be used in the same way as table salt, but it is often preferred by chefs because of its milder flavor and finer texture. It can be used to season food, or it can be added to baths for a detoxifying soak.

However, there is little scientific evidence to support these claims. Regardless, Himalayan fine pink salt is a tasty and attractive way to add some variety to your meals.
