Pink Himalayan Salt is a natural salt extracted by hand from the Khewra Salt Mine located near the Himalayas in Pakistan. It is minimally processed and yields an unrefined product that is free of additives. The process of natural harvesting allows Pink Himalayan Salt to retain many other minerals and trace elements — estimated by some to be up to 84 different compounds — and it is these properties, especially iron, that give the salt its characteristic pink colour.
We use Pink Himalayan Salt in our recipes because it gives greater depth of flavour without acridity, and the crunch of the salt crystals makes for an oh-so satisfying texture.
