Himalayan salt is a type of pink salt mined from the ground in Pakistan. This salt was created many years ago when ancient oceans dried up leaving large deposits of salt underground. Due to the salt being rich in iron, the crystals have a pale pink colour. However, it is nearly all just Sodium Chloride so it is very similar to the salt we use in our kitchens. It can be used to flavour food, put in bath water and make salt lamps. The Himalayan Pink Salt Co. sell edible Himalayan salt, bath salts and salt lamps on their website himalayanpinksalt.com. Larger quantities can also be ordered by businesses.
