- Pink Himalayan salt is a type of salt that’s naturally pink in color and mined near the Himalayas.
This video looks at the key differences between pink Himalayan salt and regular salt and evaluates the evidence to decide which type of salt is healthier.
What Is Salt?
Salt is a mineral largely consisting of the compound sodium chloride.
Salt contains so much sodium chloride - around 98% by weight - that most people use the words “salt” and “sodium” interchangeably.
Salt can be produced by evaporating salt water or extracting solid salt from underground salt-mines.
Before it reaches your grocery store, table salt also goes through a refining process to remove impurities and any other minerals besides sodium chloride.
What Is Pink Himalayan Salt?
Pink Himalayan salt is a pink-colored salt extracted from the Khewra Salt Mine, which is located near the Himalayas in Pakistan.
The Khewra Salt-Mine is one of the oldest and largest salt mines in the world.
The salt is hand-extracted and minimally processed to yield an unrefined product that’s free of additives and thought to be much more natural than table salt.
Like table-salt, pink Himalayan salt is mostly comprised of sodium chloride.
However, the natural harvesting process allows pink Himalayan salt to possess many other minerals and trace elements that are not found in regular table salt.
Considerations for Cooking
Whenever you’re measuring any kind of salt by volume, it’s important to consider how finely it’s ground.
You may need to use larger quantities of coarse salt to match the saltiness of finely ground salt. This is because finely ground salt is packed closer together than coarse salt, so there’s more of it in a particular volume.
Furthermore, pink Himalayan salt contains slightly less sodium-chloride than regular table-salt, which you may need to account for when cooking.
Current dietary guidelines in the US recommend that most adults consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. This is equal to around 1 teaspoon of finely ground salt.
Non-Dietary Uses
While pink Himalayan salt has several dietary uses, there are also a number of popular non-dietary uses.
Pink Himalayan salt is used in some bath salts, which claim to improve skin conditions and soothe sore muscles.
Salt lamps are also often made out of pink Himalayan salt and claimed to remove air pollutants. These lamps consist of large blocks of salt with an inner light source that heats the salt.
Additionally, spending time in man-made salt caves formed out of pink Himalayan salt is popular among people seeking to improve skin and respiratory problems.
Both table salt and pink Himalayan salt consist mostly of sodium chloride, but pink Himalayan salt has up to 84 other minerals and trace elements.
Are the Health Claims True?
Despite the fact that pink Himalayan salt only contains tiny amounts of additional minerals, many people still claim that it can provide a number of health benefits.
The truth is, most of these claims do not have any research to support them.
So the truth is you don't know. 3 minutes wasted.
I only use pink Himalayan salt now.
Look at parts of the world where goiters are common . Salt with iodine should still be in your diet .
I clicked because I was literally in the store hours ago trying to figure the difference.
Iodine wasn’t even mentioned in the video😕 that was arguably the most important difference I could find online.
Sea salt & Himalayan salt is wonderful and I still use iodized salt as well .
The main difference is table salt contains additives like some anti stick agent. Himalayan pink salt contains all 80+ trace minerals and has a very slightly different taste (better). Its better for everything, especially if you want to take a salt bath.
@@QuantumPyrite_88.9 when do you switch between them?
@@Muldeeer good to know thank you!
It’s added and only if it says
Pink Himalayan salt does not contain Iodine, White salt usually is enriched with Iodine, an important component to improve thyroid's health.
I don't believe that. Himalayan pink salt contains 80+ trace minerals (all) and no anti stick agent in it. Clean&natural.
@@Muldeeer "Although pink Himalayan saltmay naturally contain some iodine, it most likely contains less iodine than iodized salt. Therefore, those who have iodine deficiency or are at risk of deficiency may need to source iodine elsewhere if using pink salt instead of table salt." From medicalnewstoday.
Anyone who has travelled to countries where goiters are prevalent will see the benefits of iodized salt .
This salt is rock salt Mined from Pakistan 💕
Pink is great best
how many times did she say salt lol
good info.thanks...👍
Total BS. Those trace amounts of minerals are so very trace, it's sad. If oyu like the color and courseness, go for it. Otherwise no real nutritional difference
Not if you take a salt bath. But with this attitude you don't care about your health so why would you even watch this video...
@@Muldeeer have to admit, I've never taken a salt bath before. What are the benefits? How does it feel? I watch videos like this to amuse myself on what people will buy into. I was mainly writing on a dietery aspect. and how much more expensive himilayan salt is than regular salt. Admittedly, I rarely use salt at all in cooking or eating. People complain about the greed & evil of big corporations yet give these so called health charlatans a pass because they're "only trying to help mankind-"- while reaping huge financial rewards selling to desperate poeple who don't know any better or the difference. Anyway, I thank you for your response and wish you peace and well being.
YES, mineral salt is always best.

This amazing pink salt is from Pakistan and someone else is also from Pakistan guess who . Its me . 😍
It does not provide iodine though. Iodine is a necessary nutrient and helps with taroid.
Pink 💗💓💞is the way 💪⚒️💥💪
Waiting for the kind hearted person who can actually Support always from his heart & soul take my love ❤️❤️❤️ 🤩😊
That's a tough one for sure now a days. I've been married for almost 17 years and my wife is a bigger part of me than my own arm and hands. People in general have changes so much. I don't think finding someone like her would even be possible. I wish you luck in finding someone who truly fall in love with all of you. Life is way to short to spend anytime without someone.
Baja gold has the most trace minerals .....it is used to make sole... I was looking to remineralize our reverse osmosis filtered watered.
Too much dirt and grit in it for me to enjoy.
my country Pakistan is only producer of pink salt in the world , we have huge range of salt reserves . I’m exporter of himaliyan pink salt from Pakistan. This video is really amazing. If any one want high quality pink salt from us in large quantity
Yeah right
Does pink salt has iodine in it?
No
Use the pink for medicinal purpose and the white for consumption.Meaning , pink for ailments, skin care , bath etc.
