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.

The first known discovery of halite dates back to the time of Alexander The Great. It is reported that after horses would not stop licking rocks during a break, Alexander wanted to know why and thus, took a piece of the rock and took a taste. After which, it was discovered that the ore could be mined and used for flavoring.

Now, halite is mostly mined at the Khewra Mine, in the foothills of the Pakistani mountain range. The mineral, while similar to table salt actually has additional minerals which others such as sea and table do not have. In addition, while there are other minerals mined in the area, most have impurities which are not healthy enough to be used in cooking or absorbed into the physical body.

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 salt has a number of uses of Pakistan and around the world. While mostly used to flavor food, it is important to remember that there is no evidence or indication that the substance is any healthier than the table version. At the same time, there are people all over the world using this version which claim that halite has less effect on blood pressure or water weight gain than the 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.

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.
