Salt
Visually Striking: Himalayan pink rock salt, the most common type, boasts a beautiful pink hue due to trace minerals like iron oxide.
Natural Mineral Source: Contains trace amounts of minerals like potassium, magnesium, and calcium, besides the main component sodium chloride. (Though the amount is very small and unlikely to significantly impact your daily intake)
Claimed Health Benefits: Often promoted with various health benefits, but scientific evidence is limited.
Similar to Table Salt Chemically: Despite the color and claims, pink rock salt is chemically very similar to regular table salt in terms of sodium chloride content.
Finishing Salt or Cooking Salt: Can be used as a finishing salt due to its beautiful crystals or for regular cooking.
