The Himalayan Pink Salt

Even though pink salt seems fancy, there is a straightforward history behind it. In other words, Himalayan salt originates from the Khewra Salt Range in Pakistan and was formed as a result of drying out of ancient oceans and leaving large deposits of salts underground. The presence of iron contributes to its pink color, but the fact is that it consists mostly of sodium chloride, meaning that it is pretty similar to ordinary salt. The only difference is its unique color and taste. It is used by chefs to season food and by some people to put in baths and lamps. The Himalayan Pink Salt Co. sells edible salt, bath salt, and salt lamps.
