A bit about this salt:

"Himalayan Pink Salt is one of the purest salts available for culinary, therapeutic and cosmetic uses. This delectable salt is hand mined from the pristine Himalayan mountain range and the crystals range dramatically in color from off-white to a lustrous pink, which indicates a quantifiable amount of 84 trace elements & iron. The benefits are endless but Himalayan Pink Salt is primarily used for gourmet cooking and in bath preparations.

Himalayan Pink Salt is used by holistic chefs, spas, health professionals, and individuals for its range of nutritional and therapeutic properties.  Pink salt may be used in the same manner as table salt for culinary dishes and baking, but it is purer and higher in mineral content.  Externally, pink salt can be used to stimulate circulation, relax the body, lower blood pressure, sooth sore muscles, and remove toxins from the body.  Use Himalayan Pink Salt in bath salt recipes, body scrubs, aromatherapy, homemade soap, and for all types of culinary and spa applications."

This is an extraordinary and unusual salt. I love trying exotic herbs and spices, and didn't even realize there were so many different gourmet salts until recently. If you love to experiment in the kitchen, give this unique salt a try.
