Himalayan Crystal Salt came into being millions of years ago, when the energy from the sun dried up part of the primal ocean. Through many ages, the remaining salt was exposed to tremendous pressure, resulting in the perfection of its crystal structure. Today, the salt can been seen floating in transparent, whitish, pinkish and reddish veins in the Salt Range mountains. The salt's colour is due to the presence of iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, sulphur and other trace minerals. It was these minerals that the horses of Alexander the Great were seeking when they instinctively starting licking the rocks, bringing this gift from nature to our attention. We are grateful that this ancient natural crystal salt is now available to us to enhance our well being. Our bodies require the right form of salt for efficient cellular functioning and vital internal processes, so it is important to ensure that one is getting enough good quality salt on a daily basis. Himalayan Crystal Salt has a strong, yet gentle, flavour and excels on both raw and cooked food. It is wise to make this your salt of choice. Love your Body, love your Self, love your Salt!
