About Pink salt

Pink salt is salt described by its pink colour. The name does not identify its source, mineral composition, crystal size, or whether it has been refined, milled, or blended. It can refer to products that differ in colour and physical form, so the name alone is not a precise specification of the salt.

It is used as a seasoning or food ingredient, commonly in crystalline or ground form. Its appearance ranges with grain size and colour intensity, while its basic salty character is that of salt; any additional flavour characteristics depend on the product. The label does not establish a particular origin or composition.
