Himalayan pink salt is a natural, unrefined salt that is mined from the foothills of the Himalayan mountain range. Known for its distinctive pink color, the salt gets its hue from trace minerals, such as iron and magnesium. It is believed to contain more minerals compared to regular table salt. Some claim potential health benefits, but scientific evidence is limited. Commonly used in culinary applications, it adds a mild, nuanced flavor to dishes.
