Himalayan salt

Himalayan salt is a type of rock salt harvested from ancient deposits in the Himalayan mountains, primarily in Pakistan. It is prized for its distinctive pink color, which results from trace minerals like iron. Often used as a culinary seasoning, decorative lamps, or in therapies, Himalayan salt contains a variety of minerals that may add subtle flavors and potential health benefits. However, it is primarily valued for its aesthetic appeal and mineral content rather than any significant nutritional advantage over regular table salt. It is considered a natural, minimally processed alternative to refined salts.
