Pink salt, often referred to as Himalayan salt, is a type of rock salt that is mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan. Its distinctive pink color comes from the presence of trace minerals, including iron oxide. This salt is popular for its unique flavor and is often used in cooking, as well as in decorative salt lamps and spa products. In addition to its culinary uses, pink salt is believed by some to have health benefits, such as improving hydration and balancing electrolytes. However, scientific evidence supporting these claims is limited. Overall, it serves as a flavorful alternative to regular table salt.
