Pink Himalayan salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan. It gets its rosy hue from trace minerals in the salt, like magnesium, potassium, and calcium.
In general, you can cook with pink Himalayan salt just like you would with regular table salt. Put it in sauces and marinades or add it to your food at the dinner table. Pink Himalayan salt is used in some bath salts, which claim to improve skin conditions and soothe sore muscles. You can use pink Himalayan salt just like regular salt when you’re cooking. Bath salts, salt lamps, and salt caves are popular non-dietary uses of pink Himalayan salt.
