The world's famous pink salt comes from Pakistan. Here's what makes it different.

From Khewra

Khewra, in Punjab's Salt Range, is one of the oldest salt mines in the world and the main source of Himalayan pink salt.

Pink salt vs table salt

  • Less refined, with natural trace minerals that give its pink colour
  • No anti-caking agents in ours
  • Table salt is usually iodised; if you switch fully, make sure you get iodine elsewhere

It's still salt

Pink salt is still mostly sodium chloride. Use it in moderation.
