An Overview Of Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville

By Deborah Kennedy


In most cases, doctors recommend a diet that is low in sodium. While Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville is often thought to be a healthier option than table salt, there is no evidence to this being the case. Still, there are numerous people now using the pink version as an alternative to the table version.

In the case of Himalayan, it is actually halite coming from the Punjab region of Pakistan. The reason it is named Himalayan is due to the pink rich clay from which the ore was originally found in the Himalayas. As such, it should be noted that the Himalayan version sold in stores now comes from Pakistan not the Himalayas.

As the substance is reported to have been discovered around 325 BC, it is believed to be some of the oldest known to man. In fact, the halite was originally discovered by Alexander The Great when the horses began licking the rocks. As such, it is now believed the substance had been mined there since that time frame. Although, the earliest mining records only go back to the 1200s with the Janjua people.

Now mostly mined in the Khewra Mine in the foothills of the Salt Range hill system. While chemically similar to table salt, it has additional minerals which most others do not have. Whereas, there are others mined in the area which are not suitable for use in food due to a lack of purification.

In fact, the mineral gets the deep reddish-beet color due to impurities in the rock from which it is mined. While this is the case, the substance has been approved as safe by a number of food and drug administrations. Still, it is important that individuals know this is the case. For, should there be health issues after eating or using the salt with drinks, health officials need be contacted immediately, especially if it is believed the substance played any role in the illness.

The Himalayan version has a number of uses in Pakistan and around the world. While used to flavor food, there is no indication or evidence that it is healthier than table versions. At the same time, those whom have used it on a regular basis often report fewer issues with high blood pressure when compared to using the regular table version.

Blocks of the pink substance have been made into a number of household and kitchen items. These include serving dishes, baking stones, pizza stones and griddles. Many people use the griddles for cook outs in the region where the salt is derived. It is important when doing so to use the proper cleaning method associated with these items.

The ore is often mined as a solid piece then shaped into candle holders. Whereas, there now salt lamps and candle holders which are popular in homes around the world. While these items are rumored to clean the air of smoke and other pollutants while also dispelling negative energy, there is no documented proof to this effect.
