When the Indian Subcontinent crashed into Asia, the force not only created the Himalayan Mountains but also exposed previously buried salt deposits from an ancient sea. Eons later, that salt is being mined from the foothills of the Himalayas. The pale pink color comes from traces of iron oxide, which gives the salt a subtly sweet flavor. The color and mineral content make this salt a popular choice in many recipes.

Customers love how well these coarse crystals work in salt grinders and mills, calling the texture just right for smooth, consistent grinding. Many mention a clean, subtle flavor, with some noticing a faint sweetness, plus a pleasant crunch as a finishing salt on pizza or popcorn. The pink color also stands out nicely on the table.
