Himalayan Pink Salt is made from rock crystals of salt that have been mined from areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan. The color hues of this sea salt range from light pink to dusky rose to deep red. Formed about 600 million years ago when a great inland sea evaporated, Himalayan Pink salt’s gorgeous palette comes from a variety of trace minerals including iron, magnesium, copper, and potassium, among others, which have been trapped in the salt crystal matrix. It is mined and then washed by hand and is natural and unprocessed which is why it is famously called the purest salt on earth.
The Pahari Life Herbal salts are a blend of Himalayan Pink Salt and dried herbs grown in the Organic Ramgarh belt of Uttarakhand. Herbal salts are typically used as a finishing salt (meaning that they are usually sprinkled on cooked foods) versus using them during the cooking process itself. In addition to adding a delicious flavor to cooked foods, the other advantage is that the herbs added into the herbal salt blend will remain fresh for a long period of time as a result of mixing with the Himalayan Pink salt.
This freshly ground mix of Himalayan Pink Salt, Parsley, garlic and hill lemon zest will elevate the taste of just about any dish: potatoes, eggs, fish, poultry, pasta, rice, meats, breads and more. You can also make a zesty dipping oil: Start with some good grapeseed oil or extra-virgin olive oil, then add a dash of Parsley Pink Salt and your favorite red pepper flakes. Serve with fresh, crusty bread. Or simply use it as a table condiment, along with some freshly ground pepper. It provides long lasting fresh taste that will kick meals up a notch.
