What is pink salt?


assistant
It’s important to distinguish between a typical consumer-grade Himalayan pink salt primarily used for finishing dishes just before serving, and a curing salt that is not meant for consumption but instead used for the process of curing meats and just happens to be pink.  So, “pink salt” tends to be an overloaded term.
