Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville From Pakistan

By Deborah Kennedy


In most cases, doctors recommend a diet that is low in sodium. While Himalayan Pink Salt Seasoning Titusville is often thought to be a healthier option than table salt, there is no evidence to this being the case. Still, there are numerous people now using the pink version as an alternative to the table version.

In the case of Himalayan, it is actually halite coming from the Punjab region of Pakistan. The reason it is named Himalayan is due to the pink rich clay from which the ore was originally found in the Himalayas. As such, it should be noted that the Himalayan version sold in stores now 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.

Mostly now mined in the foothills of the Pakastani Salt Range system, the mineral has become quite popular all over the world. Chemically, halite is much like the table version when it comes to the salty taste. Whereas, there are other salty tasting minerals mined in the area which are not healthy to eat due to the lack of purification.

It should be noted that it is also impurities in the pink halite which provide the reddish or beet-red color. While this is the case, usage in food has shown no issues with health concerns at this time. Still, it is important to consider thee facts when using with food or drink. If a health condition were to arise after using the salt, it is important to let health care professionals know if the salt is suspect as being related to the illness or condition.

There are a wide number of uses for halite in Pakistan and around the world. For, while there has been no documented proof with regards to the health benefits, many individuals suggest the seasoning does not have the same effect on water weight gain or blood pressure as table or sea versions. As a result, there is now ongoing research to prove whether or not this might actually be the case.

Other uses of halite include, blocks being made into a number of household and kitchen items. For example, griddles, pizza stones, baking stones, bowls and plates. In most cases, there is a glaze which protects food and drink from absorbing the salty taste. As such, when using these items, it is important to follow the cleaning instructions associated with each.

One of the most popular items made with halite are that of lamps which are lit with electricity or candles. For, it is rumored that the substance contained in the lamp will dispel negative energy and clean the air from pollutants inside a home or office. While this has been rumored to be the case, there is no evidence suggesting any health benefits associated with using these lamps. At the same time, whether health benefits exist or otherwise, the lamps do provide low level light while making a nice table top decoration.
