What it is

Pink Himalayan sea salt is a type of rock salt that comes from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, near the Himalayas. It is mined by hand and is known for its pinkish hue, which comes from trace minerals like iron oxide.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add pink Himalayan sea salt primarily for its flavor, which is often described as milder and more complex than regular table salt. It is used in a wide variety of foods, including baked goods, snacks, savory dishes, and as a finishing salt to enhance taste and visual appeal.

Health notes

Pink Himalayan sea salt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. Like other salts, it is a source of sodium, and excessive sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated salt (sodium chloride) and established acceptable daily intakes. Evidence on the specific health benefits of trace minerals in pink Himalayan salt at typical consumption levels is limited and mixed.

Allergen info

Pink Himalayan sea salt is not a major allergen and does not contain gluten.
