The Himalayan Pink Salt

Himalayan salt is a coloured rock salt found in the ground in Pakistan. The most well-known source is the Khewra mine. Many years ago an area of water evaporated leaving salt deposits which were slowly covered by rock over time. The crystals have a slight pink tint due to being rich in iron. The composition is very similar to most salts found in your kitchen cupboard. There is an online shop available at himalayanpinksalt.com run by The Himalayan Pink Salt Co. Seasoning salts, soaking crystals and beautiful lamps can all be purchased online. Bulk orders can be placed by supermarkets, restaurants and other companies.
