Himalayan Salt, a Must-Have in Modern Kitchens

Ancient Origins and Benefits

A Millennium-Old Salt

Originating from the ancient mountains of Punjab, Pakistan, this mineral salt has been buried for millions of years, shielded from any modern pollution. This natural preservation gives it a remarkable purity, highly sought after in the culinary world.

A Mineral Concentrate

The Himalayan pink salt stands out for its richness in trace elements: calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron… It alone contains over 70 trace elements.

Its color, ranging from pale pink to intense red, is linked to its iron oxide content, giving it a unique and natural appearance.

A Healthy and Flavorful Alternative

Unlike regular table salt, Himalayan salt is not iodized and contains much less sodium per portion. Its taste is also more nuanced and complex.

Thus, it is perfect for those looking to reduce their salt intake without sacrificing taste pleasure.
