Himalayan Pink Salt has formed over 250 million years ago during the Jurassic era. The ancient sea beds inside these mountains, where this salt is mined were once covered by lava. The lava created a natural barrier that has prevented toxins and other pollutants from reaching the salt. Because of this natural protection, many people believe that Himalayan Pink Salt is the purest salt on earth.
The Himalayan people first used this salt as a preservative. It helped to keep their fish and meat from spoiling for long periods of time. The Himalayan people would use yaks to carry the salt during their journeys along mountains, cliffs, and rocky paths so they could trade this valuable product.
Today, Himalayan salt is mined from Salt Mines in Pakistan, located near the foothills of the Himalayas. Mining in this area is strictly regulated in order to preserve the purity of this product. The mines are massive, stretching almost a half-mile into the mountains with nearly 25 tunnels and 11 levels.
This salt is often referred to as “white gold” in the Himalayas.
Culinary Uses
Pink salt is used the same way table salt would be used in cooking and baking. However, Himalayan Pink Salt is higher in mineral content than traditional table salt. It is considered a true gourmet cooking salt by top chefs. It also adds interesting pink colors and different textures to foods. This salt is a wonderful ingredient in grilling, cooking, roasting, and seasoning foods.
