Himalayan Pink Salt
Move over Sea Salt – These powerful, imported crystals come with a crunch and are the crystallized jewels to any dish.
Himalayan salt is harvested in Pakistan. It is mined from the Khewra Salt Mine, the second largest salt mine in the world.
Himalayan salt often contains trace amounts of iron oxide (rust), which gives it a pink color.It does contain small amounts of calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium. It also contains slightly lower amounts of sodium than regular salt.
A lot of people prefer the flavor of Himalayan salt compared to other types of salts, but personally I haven’t been able to notice a difference.
The main difference seems to be the color, which can give a meal a nice look if you sprinkle it on top after it has been cooked.
Page four is the last but most interesting type of salt discussed and instead of being grounded up into small hexed cubes this type of salt comes in flakes that give it more flavor per square inch.
