Pink Himalayan salt is chemically similar to table salt.

It contains up to 98 percent sodium chloride.

The rest of the salt consists of trace minerals,

such as--potassium,-magnesium, and-calcium.

-Rich mineral content

-A more natural salt

-An aid to hydration

These give the salt its light pink tint.

These minerals also explain why Himalayan salt tastes different from regular table salt.
