Pink Salt

Himalayan pink salt is a natural, unrefined salt harvested from the Salt Range Mountains in the Punjab region. It is known for its distinctive pink color, which is attributed to the presence of trace minerals, particularly iron oxide. This salt is available in various forms, including coarse crystals, fine grains, and salt blocks for cooking and serving.
