What is Himalayan Pink Rock Salt?

Himalayan Rock Salt has formed over 250 million years ago, when extreme weathers and geological changes including massive earthquakes trapped oceans underneath the earth’s crust, and within a certain period of time, it crystallized and formed solid rocks of pure natural salt. This natural salt has been mined from the Punjab region in Pakistan ever since the discovery and fulfills the world’s major portion of natural salt needed for both edible and bath purposes.

How was it discovered?
Himalayan Pink Rock Salt was first discovered in South Asia by the armies of Alexander the Great (around 320 bc) while they were stationed in the mountainous region of the Himalayas, now called Northern Pakistan. When Alexander’s battle horses started to lick the rocks, it caught Alexander’s attention and he ordered the excavation by manual digging, only to find tons of ancient rock salt secretly embedded underneath.

Is it better than regular table salt?
Himalayan Pink Rock Salt has been unexposed to toxic pollution from the air and water, therefore it is considered one of the purest salt found on earth. This salt is 100% pure with no added chemicals or anti-caking agents like that of regular table salt. Table salt also contains artificial Iodine and other additives such as anti-caking agents that may cause more harm than good, but after switching to Himalayan Rock Salt for everyday use, it will serve a great purpose.
