Pink Himalayan Salt:
Himalayan Pink salt very similar to table salt (98% Sodium Chloride) and is a rock salt named after the Punjab region of Pakistan were it is said was first found but is also found in Iran and some other regions.
The salt often has a pinkish tint due to mineral impurities inside which are said to have health benefits
General Specification:
Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt meaning 96% to 99% sodium chloride, with varying amounts of trace minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, chromium, magnesium and sulfate, all at safe levels below 1%. Some salt crystals have off-white to transparent color, while impurities in some veins of salt give it a pink, reddish, or beet-red color.
Nutritionally, Himalayan salt is also similar to common table salt, though it lacks the beneficial that is added to commercial iodised table salt.
Applications:
It is primarily used as a food additive to replace refined and popular table salt and the impurities in it gives its distinctive pink / orange hue. Its unprocessed state and lack of anti-caking agents, have given rise to the belief that it is healthier than common table salt; this claim is not supported scientifically.
Slabs of salt are used as serving dishes, baking stones and griddles transferring to the food or drink a very weak flavor. Also pink salt is used to make "salt lamps" that radiate a pinkish or orangish hue, manufactured by placing a light source within the hollowed-out interior of a block of Himalayan salt. It is claimed that the use of these lamps results in the release of ions, again this health benefit is without foundation or without proof.
