Pink salt (Hebrew plural form) is a mineral salt produced from rock salt excavated from the foothills of the Jaspal Mountains in the northern region of India. Its name is derived from the pinkish hue, it often displays when it is sprinkled on food. Pink salt's chemical composition is identical to that of normal table salt, it is however more processed and commercialized than its normal counterpart. Industrial uses of this salt have increased greatly over the years, which has resulted in increased production and demand.

The himalayan salt is rock salt extracted from the foothills of the Jaspal Mountains in the northern India. The salt, which sometimes has a pinkish colour due to some naturally occurring minerals, is mainly used as a popular food ingredient in place of refined table salt, although it is also used for cooking and many other food presentation purposes. It is known for having a high mineral content which makes it ideal for adding trace minerals to foods, particularly those that need to have trace minerals added to improve the flavour and texture. This is why it is widely used as an additive in the preparation of non-vegetarian food, especially chicken and fish.

One of the key benefits of using Himalayan pink salt is that it contains a considerable amount of sodium, which is a much healthier alternative to regular table salt. Salt is commonly associated with health problems such as high blood pressure, cancer and heart attacks, because of the large amounts of sodium it contains. On the contrary, pink Himalayan salt does not contain any salt content whatsoever and is therefore considered to be a much healthier alternative, as it does not have any negative side effects. Healthier dishes can therefore easily pass for a tastier and healthier option.

Because of the extreme beauty of this salt crystal, its popularity has spread globally and is now available at almost all salt retailers. However, its availability is dependent on the availability of freshwater. The biggest producer of this pink sea salt is Pakistan, although production is not as high as that of India or Brazil. Production of pink salt for Pakistan is done mostly through rainfall from areas further upstream in the mountains. The largest deposits of this pink salt are found in the Karakoram and Siran regions of Pakistani Baluchistan.

Many cooks in Pakistan prefer to use pink salt in cooking due to its incomparable quality. Although the use of regular table salt is still widely used, most households avoid the use of regular salt and instead opt for this pink salt, primarily because it lasts longer than ordinary salts and is more versatile. Using this type of salt in cooking preserves the natural flavour of the food, and also enhances the texture and elasticity of the dish. Some dishes which are best served using this kind of salt include chicken kebabs, fried quantities of beef, yogurt, and chutneys.

One of the advantages of using pink salt is that it can help regulate the body's internal pH level. This allows the body to more effectively digest and metabolize foods, and consequently reduces the risk of serious health conditions such as heart diseases. Pink salt bath salts are considered particularly beneficial for those suffering from frequent stomach aches. Some studies have indicated that by massaging essential oils like lemon or Rosemary into the bath water, a soothing effect is felt, making for a more pleasant experience in the bathroom and kitchen.

Pink salt contains less sodium and more magnesium than regular table salt. Pink salt contains less sodium than rock salt and much more magnesium than baking soda. Because of its magnesium content, pink salt contains less potential for enhancing blood pressure and thus may be recommended for people with high blood pressure. It is believed that pink salt contains less sodium than regular table salt and more magnesium, thus more appealing to those with high blood pressure.

The trace mineral content in pink salt may inhibit the growth of certain types of parasites. Malnutrition and iodine deficiency can cause serious medical conditions and can lead to neurological disorders. Trace elements are needed to absorb nutrients and assimilate to the body's cells and tissues. They also provide energy to the cells. A lack of trace minerals can lead to poor circulation, weak bones, poor immunity, weak mental function, and other medical conditions.
