An Overview Of Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville

By Deborah Kennedy


When it comes to eating healthy, one spice doctors always suggest giving up is sodium. While this is the case, most individuals still prefer to use sodium and other spices on food. Whether Himalayan or table salt, there has been no proof that one is healthier than the other. However, most now prefer to use Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville.

The Himalayan version comes from a mineral known as halite. The mineral actually comes form the Punjab area which is a mountain range in Pakistan. Halite is a dark reddish-beet color and is why the color pink has been associated with the name of the seasoning. As such, it should be noted that while stores around the world sell the seasoning as Himalaya pink salt or seasoning, 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.

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.

It should be noted that it is also impurities in the pink halite which provide the reddish or beet-red color. While this is the case, usage in food has shown no issues with health concerns at this time. Still, it is important to consider thee facts when using with food or drink. If a health condition were to arise after using the salt, it is important to let health care professionals know if the salt is suspect as being related to the illness or condition.

There are a wide number of uses for halite in Pakistan and around the world. For, while there has been no documented proof with regards to the health benefits, many individuals suggest the seasoning does not have the same effect on water weight gain or blood pressure as table or sea versions. As a result, there is now ongoing research to prove whether or not this might actually be the case.

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.
