Himalayan Salt
Himalyan salt is mined in Pakistan's northern Punjab region at the famous Khewra Salt Mine. Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, the mine was discovered around 320 BC when the troops of Alexander moved through the region. Himalayan salt is rock salt (halite). The salt, which often has a pinkish tint due to trace minerals, is primarily used as a food additive to replace refined table salt but is also used for cooking and food presentation, decorative lamps and spa treatments. Pink Himalayan Salt Contains More Minerals. Both table salt and pink Himalayan salt consist mostly of sodium chloride, but pink Himalayan salt has up to 84 other minerals and trace elements. These include common minerals like potassium and calcium, as well as lesser-known minerals like strontium and molybdenum.
