Pink salt, also known as Himalayan pink salt, is a type of salt that is mined from the Khewra Salt Mine in the Himalayan Mountains in Pakistan. It is called “pink” salt because it has a pale pink color due to the presence of trace minerals, including iron, magnesium, and calcium. Pink salt is used in cooking and as a decorative element, and it is believed by some to have a number of health benefits due to its mineral content.
