The Origins

Pink salt originated during the Age of Discovery when explorers traveled the world in search of new places and new resources to trade for wealth, power, knowledge, and glory. 

Pink Salt also known as Himalayan Pink Salt is a type of Rock Salt that is extracted mainly from the Khewara Salt Mine in Pakistan. This is the second largest salt mine in the world which is situated in the foothills of the Himalayas and making salt for more than 800 million years. 

The pink color of the salt stem from contents that are dissolved in it, they include iron, magnesium, potassium as well as calcium in different amounts are found dissolved in the salt crystals.

The Khewra Salt Mine is associated with a rich geological formation that is made up of salt deposits that have taken over millions of years through the evaporation of seas. Consequently, salt deposits in this region are considered to be among the purists on the globe making Pink Salt the noble taste enhancer as well as nature’s blessing.

The Process of Harvesting Pink Salt

 The methods of collecting Pink Salt are traditional as well and the process is very selective to support the natural features of the salt. The salt mining activity is done through the usual way of mining large blocks of salt whilst ensuring that they are removed safely from the ground. These blocks are then hand chiseled in a bid to eliminate any impurities on the blocks as well as to break the salt into more manageable portions ready for sale. While most of today’s industrial exploits are known to adversely affect the ecology and character of a resource, the extraction of Pink Salt is environmentally friendly and does not compromise the edibility of the natural resource.

After that salt extraction, it can be further processed in various ways but it does not go through much processing. The salt is then rinsed with distilled water to get rid of any dirt and other abrasive materials that may be found on the salt and then left to dry in the open air without being subjected to any form of heat to retain its moisture. Finally, the salt is dried and then sieved into the different sizes that will be used for free flow or in particle size reduction technique. Pink Salt is available in different sizes in Gharaam – for daily use such as small grains to larger crystals which are ideal for dishes, and salt grinders.
