About Himalayan pink salt
Himalayan pink salt is a pink-hued mined rock salt sold for culinary use, commonly as crystals, coarse grains, or finely ground salt. Its colour ranges from pale pink to deeper tones, and its flavour is primarily salty, with minor sensory differences among products.
It is used for seasoning and cooking like other salt, and may be sold in blocks, grinders, or bags. Grain size and any processing or additives vary by product; the name does not specify a precise mineral composition or guarantee a particular origin.
