Himalayan salt is a type of rock salt (halite) heavily marketed for its striking, aesthetic pinkish tint. The color is caused by trace mineral impurities within the crystal structure, primarily iron oxide (rust). Functionally and nutritionally, it acts very similarly to standard table and sea salt.<br />
<br />
== Origin ==<br />
Despite the name, Himalayan salt is not mined from the high peaks of the Himalayas. It is almost entirely extracted from the Khewra Salt Mine, located in the Punjab region of Pakistan, situated in the foothills of the Salt Range hill system. The salt deposits here date back hundreds of millions of years to a massive prehistoric, evaporated inland sea.<br />
<br />
== Nutritional Information ==<br />
