Himalayan Salt is a type of rock salt harvested from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan, located near the Himalayas. It is known for its pink color, which comes from trace minerals like iron oxide. This salt is often used in cooking, food preservation, and as a decorative element in salt lamps and cooking blocks.
Many people believe that Himalayan Salt has health benefits due to its mineral content. It is often marketed as a healthier alternative to regular table salt, as it contains less sodium per serving and is unrefined. However, scientific evidence supporting these health claims is limited.
