What is Himalayan Pink Salt?

Unique Benefits of Himalayan Pink Salt

The Himalayan Pink salt is a distinctive and unique variant of salt. It’s a unique décor and a healthier mineral. We mine this salt from the foothills of the Himalayan Salt Mountains in Pakistan. Just to remind you that the Pink salt comes only from Pakistan.

Its pinkish tint is due to the trace minerals. People use pink salt as a food additive to replace refined and processed table salt. Cooking, food presentation, food additive, decorative salt lamps, and spa treatments are the major uses and applications of this great Himalayan Pink Salt.

Chemical Composition of Pink Salt

Himalayan Pink Salt NaCl

Well, the chemical composition of Himalayan pink salt is quite similar to ordinary table salt. Almost, more than 98% of Himalayan Salt is made out of sodium chloride (NaCl). However, the rest of the pink salt consists of trace minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals are responsible for delivering health benefits. Also, these trace minerals actually deliver a pinkish tint to salt as well.

Why does the body need salt?

Pink Salt Consumption

To most people, salt is nothing but an ingredient in their daily food and special dishes. But that’s not the only function salt performs. Salt doesn’t only add flavor to food. And its function is not limited only to preserving our food and dishes.

The body needs salt, it’s a necessity and it plays an important role in helping your body function well.

Our body needs salt (sodium chloride) to conduct & transmit nerve impulses and contract & relax muscle fibers. Salt also maintains the proper fluid (water and minerals) balance in the body.

Here we go with the Himalayan salt. This salt improves and enhances the transmission of nerve impulses. Also, it is more natural salt for preserving foods!

Salt Sources:

Salt or Pink salt (sodium) is not a nutrient that you need to look for, it finds you! Any unprocessed food like fruits, vegetables, nuts, meats, whole grains, and dairy foods are all low in sodium.

On the other hand, a major portion of the salt in our diets comes from commercially prepared or baked foods. Not from the salt added at home. No matter whether preparing the food at home or salt at the dinner table.

The top ten (10) sources of salt in our diets include slices of bread/rolls; burritos; tacos; pizza; sandwiches; soups; cold cuts/cure4۔ d meats; savory snacks (chips, popcorns, crackers); chicken; chees; eggs; omelets.
