Tell me about himalayan pink salt.

It's pink and gets its name from the Himalayas.

I find its flavor more subdued and not as sharp as kosher or table salt. I use it when grilling and as garnish when I'm not using stronger spices. All salts are the same when making stews, soups, brines.

It's a meme scam for middle-class "health-conscious" white folks. Just get iodine-enriched salt and be done with it. The only reason to get it is if you prefer the flavor enough to pay more for it.

I have no idea where you guys live but the stores here in Cali have it for a buck or two more than the price for regular salt.

It's like salt, but it's pink.

My company's CEO has a couple of those. I don't know why.

Why was "it makes great light fixtures" deleted? And so many hours after it was posted? Had to have been a mod because of the delay. Stupid.

It's just salt.

It's from a very large salt mine in Pakistan, a couple hundred miles from the Himalayas, it's pretty from the tiny rust content, and it's no less harmful to you than any other salt.

I saw a dumbass Amazon review poster who independently decided rusty salt contains no sodium.

The best salt I ever had was from Austria

Salt is easily mined and should be literally dirt cheap. a normal huge jug of salt is $2 .,. Just because $5 for salt is acceptable for you does not mean you're not being scammed
