CURATED AUTHENTIC NATYRAL
Pink Himalayan salt is a type of rock salt that is mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan, near the foothills of the Himalayas. It gets its distinctive pink color from trace minerals, such as iron oxide, potassium, and magnesium, which are present in the salt. These minerals also contribute to its slightly different taste compared to regular table salt.
Advocates of pink Himalayan salt claim that it contains more minerals and nutrients than regular table salt and that it offers various health benefits, although scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited. Nonetheless, it has become popular in recent years as an alternative to table salt, particularly in gourmet cooking and as a finishing salt for its unique color and flavor profile.
