Salt

More Info

Himalayan Rock Salt was found in the Khewra Salt Mine, located in Pakistan. It was discovered around 320 BC by Alexander the Great's troops. The soldiers noticed that their horses were licking rocks on the ground, which were later found to be salt deposits. This led to the development of the mine and the beginning of the salt mining industry in the region.

Himalayan rock salt, produced from the mine, is now exported globally and used for various purposes, such as cooking, spa treatments, and natural health remedies.


Origin

Himalayan Rock Salt can be found in Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China, as that is where the Himalayan Mountain Range spans. However, the Khewra Salt Mine in Pakistan is the most famous and well-known source of Himalayan rock salt.


Physical Properties

Himalayan rock salt, also known as pink salt, is a type of rock salt that is primarily composed of sodium chloride. It is typically light pink to dark pink in colour, although there are also white varieties available. Here are some of the physical properties of Himalayan rock salt:

  • Himalayan rock salt has a Mohs hardness rating of 2.5, which means that it is relatively soft and can be easily scratched or damaged. It is softer than many other types of salt, including sea salt and kosher salt.
  • Himalayan rock salt is available in a range of grain sizes, from fine to coarse. The size of the grains can affect how the salt is used and its flavour profile. Finer grains dissolve more quickly and evenly, while coarser grains can provide a crunchier texture and a stronger flavour.
  • Himalayan rock salt is known for its high mineral content, which includes trace amounts of calcium, potassium, magnesium, and iron.

Overall, Himalayan rock salt is a relatively soft and mineral-rich type of salt that is prized for its unique colour and flavour. Its physical properties can affect how it is used in cooking and other applications.
