Himalayan Pink Salt
My cousin Mike is in town for two weeks. Mike and his family are currently stationed in Kathmandu, Nepal. Today he brought me some Himalayan Pink Salt. I am so excited to use it! Here is a little overview on my new favorite salt!
Origin - Himalayan mountains.
Extraction- Hand-mined, hand-washed, and sun dried.
Shelf life - 4-5 years
Notes- Store in an air right, covered container in a cool dry place. Fluctuations in humidity may cause salt to cake. A granular salt with a average size of 1-2 mm. Fully dispersible in water and blends well with oil.
Himalayan Pink Salt is a pure, hand-mined salt that is derived from the foothills of the pristine Himalayan Mountains. Harvested from ancient sea salt deposits, it is believed to be the purest form of salt available. The high mineral crystals range in color from sheer white, varying shades of pink, to deep reds, the result of high mineral and iron content.
I recently discovered Himalayan pink salt and have found it taste great and be a lot better for you. Not to mention it looks a lot nicer than my previous salt box!
