Himalayan salt is rock salt mined from the Himalayas in the Punjab region of modern Pakistan. It is believed to have formed millions of years ago from the evaporation of ancient waters known as the Primal Sea. As the waters evaporated, it created salt deposits that were covered by lava, snow and ice. This maintained its purity and protected it from pollution making Himalayan Pink salt the purest salt on earth!
The only pink salt mine in the world is situated in Khewra, Pakistan. Despite common misconceptions, pink salt is not found in the Himalayas but is exclusively mined from this location.
