Himalayan salt is a type of rock salt that is extracted from the Salt Range mountains in Pakistan. It gets its name from the fact that the mountains are located in the Himalayan region.

Himalayan salt is often used as a gourmet salt due to its unique flavor and color. It has a pinkish hue that comes from its high mineral content, which includes iron, magnesium, potassium, and calcium.

Some people also believe that Himalayan salt has health benefits, such as improving respiratory function, reducing inflammation, and promoting healthy sleep.
