Question: is himalayan pink salt the same as himalayan sea salt

Answer: Yes, Although its salt is sometimes marketed as ``Jurassic Sea Salt'', this salt deposit comes from a seabed of the Permian and Cretaceous eras 100 to 200 million years ago. This sea became landlocked and evaporated, leaving a dense salt deposit, colored by a common pink microorganism that had lived in it. Over the next few hundred million years, that deposit was at the border of a continental plate, and was pushed up into a mountain range in Pakistan.
