What it is

Himalayan pink salt is a type of rock salt, a mineral harvested from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, near the Himalayas. It is minimally processed, retaining trace minerals and elements that give it a pink hue.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Himalayan pink salt primarily for its flavor and visual appeal, adding a distinct taste and color to foods. It is commonly found in seasoning blends, processed snacks like popcorn and chips, and as a finishing salt for various dishes.

Health notes

Himalayan pink salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other salts, it is primarily sodium chloride. While it contains trace minerals, the amounts are too small to have a significant impact on health at typical consumption levels. JECFA has evaluated salt and sodium chloride and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical intake.

Allergen info

Himalayan pink salt is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
