This ancient salt is so old, it has been dubbed, "Jurassic salt." Its rich pink hue comes from the high concentration of trace minerals, especially iron. "This is pure, hand-mined salt found naturally, deep within the pristine Himalayan Mountains. Crystallized over 250 million years ago, ancient sea beds were covered by lava, protecting the salt from modern-day pollution, and lending to the belief that Himalayan Pink salt is the purest salt to be found on earth."
