The Himalayan Pink Salt

Himalayan salt is a type of pink salt that is mined from mines in Pakistan. The most well known of these mines is Khewra. Millions of years ago there was a huge sea that evaporated leaving salt behind. This salt became trapped under rock. The salt has a small amount of iron in it making the crystals pink. It is very similar to the salt we use in our kitchens every day. It can be used when cooking, in bath water and decorative salt lamps. The Himalayan Pink Salt Co have a website called himalayanpinksalt.com where you can purchase cooking salt, bath salt and salt lamps. Larger amounts can be purchased by shops and other businesses using their wholesale service.
