Himalayan Pink Salt Coarse 200g

Himalayan salt is originally a rock salt, yet it differs from ordinary rock salts. Pink salt from the foothills of the Himalayas is mined from a fossil deposit that is approximately 250 million years old. This quarry is located in Pakistan and is the second largest in the world. Thanks to the traditional method of extracting the salt in whole pieces and then processing it gently, i.e. only washing, drying in the sun, sorting and crushing it to the desired size, it retains its natural character compared to refined salt, which is subject to chemical purification during processing or is enriched with other ingredients (such as iodine).

The uniqueness of Himalayan salt lies in its age. The site where it is currently mined in Pakistan was formerly a primeval ocean. Thus, its purity has not been affected by man's activities, as is the case with today's seas and oceans.

Use

Pink salt has a mild taste compared to Himalayan black salt. Its typical pink crystals give a unique final effect to every dish. Suitable for both hot and cold cuisine. 

Pink salt can also be used as bath salt.

Do you know the differences between the different types of salt?

Depending on how the salt is obtained, we distinguish between rock salt and sea salt. Rock salt is obtained from deep or surface mines where it has crystallized, while sea salt is obtained by evaporation from seawater and subsequent crystallization. A further distinction is made between natural and refined salt. By natural salt is meant any salt which is essentially free from industrial processing. By contrast, we speak of refined salt, or, if you prefer, industrially chemically processed salt, when the final product undergoes many stages of processing.
