Himalayan Pink Salt, also referred to as Pink Salt, Himalayan Sea Salt, Rock Salt, or Himalayan Salt, is truly unique. It is a kind of rock salt or mineral rock salt mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan, about 190 miles away from the Himalayas. Punjab is home to the world’s largest and oldest salt mines.

The time-honored Himalayan Pink Salt comes from the Salt Range, a hill system located in Pakistan’s Punjab Province, and derives its name from extensive deposits of rock salt. Geologists are especially interested in the Salt Range as it contains the most complete geological sequence in the world, with rocks exposed through erosion constantly from early Cambrian times (about 600 to 540 million years ago) to the Pleistocene Epoch (about 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago).

The Salt Range is said to have been untouched for millions of years until 1849, when Dr. H. Warth, a British mining engineer, laid out a tunnel into the Salt Range to reach the salt deposits. His “Pillar and Chamber” method, which removes half the salt and leaves the other half behind as structural support for the mine, is still in practice today.

Himalayan Salt formed 600 meters down deep in the Himalayan Mountains, and is free from pollutants and the impact of human activities. Subsurface minerals combined with ocean crystals under the huge pressure of crustal movements over millions of years. Compared to ordinary table salt, Himalayan Pink Salt is considered a more balanced and healthier option.

Himalayan Pink Salt is a more balanced and healthier option than table salt. Fine Himalayan Pink Salt is the purest salt you could possibly find in the world. Hand mining makes it different from table salt, which involves a considerable amount of processing.

With an eye on sustainability, social value, and social responsibility, Saindak uses 100% green, recyclable, food-grade materials and strictly oversees the whole production process. Saindak plans to donate, in the name of customers, RMB 1 for each bottle of salt sold to public welfare organizations, so that everyone can be easily involved in building a sharing and loving society. Saindak will post the results on its official website and those of charity organizations, including the Young Eagle Association for Education Assistance, at regular intervals.
