Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville From Pakistan

By Deborah Kennedy


A number of individuals are now trying to eat healthier. One food which most health care providers recommend giving up, or using a healthier version such as a substitute is that of sodium. While many individuals believe Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville provides less sodium per serving than other versions, there has been no evidence to suggest this is the case.

The Himalayan version is actually halite, a mineral coming from a mountain range in Pakistan. The name comes from the rich pink clay from which was originally discovered in the Himalayan mountains. As such, it should be noted that while sold in stores around the world, it 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.

Mostly now mined in the foothills of the Pakastani Salt Range system, the mineral has become quite popular all over the world. Chemically, halite is much like the table version when it comes to the salty taste. Whereas, there are other salty tasting minerals mined in the area which are not healthy to eat due to the lack of purification.

While this is the case, it should be noted that the Himalayan version also contains some impurities which is what gives the mineral the pink color. In most cases, these impurities are cleansed from the ore before it is ground and distributed around the world to be used as a seasoning. Still, it is good that individuals are made aware of the impurities should a health issue arise in the future.

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 reddish pink ore are also being formed into cookware, dishes, cups and bake ware. After which, the products are lightly glazed with a protective coating. If and when using these items, it is important to follow the recommended cleaning methods or the salty taste could be absorbed from the products into food and drink.

One of the most popular items made with halite are that of lamps which are lit with electricity or candles. For, it is rumored that the substance contained in the lamp will dispel negative energy and clean the air from pollutants inside a home or office. While this has been rumored to be the case, there is no evidence suggesting any health benefits associated with using these lamps. At the same time, whether health benefits exist or otherwise, the lamps do provide low level light while making a nice table top decoration.
