Pink Himalayan Salt is a particular type of rock salt that is found in Pakistan in the regions of Punjab near the Himalayan mountains. It is known for its pinkish colors that it gets for mineral impurities.
It is used for many things but some of the most popular reasons pink Himalayan salts are used is for cooking and food prep and also spa treatments.
Himalayan salts get mined in most cases by hand from the Khewra Salt mines in Pakistan which is one of the oldest mines in Pakistan.
Himalayan salt is said to be much purer than table salt because it has not been processed as much as table salt. Pink salts are free of additives and are unrefined.
Pink Himalayan salts also have many trace elements and minerals that regular table salts do not have. It is said that pink salts may contain up to 84 different trace minerals and elements.
