Mined from deep within the foothills of the Himalayas, this salt has been protected from modern pollutants for millions of years. Its soft pink hues come from trace minerals such as iron, magnesium, and potassium, which give it a gentler flavour than standard table salt. Coarse Himalayan pink salt is wonderfully versatile – grind it fresh in a mill for seasoning at the table, or use it in cooking where a slow dissolve is desired. Its premium quality makes it a favourite in modern kitchens, health-conscious households, and gourmet restaurants alike.

Here are ten delicious and practical ways to enjoy it:

1. Grind over grilled meats and fish for a clean, mineral finish.

2. Sprinkle onto roasted vegetables before serving.

3. Use in bread doughs or focaccia for a subtle crunch.

4. Crush and sprinkle over chocolate truffles or caramels for a sweet-salty balance.

5. Stir into soups, stews, or curries for steady seasoning.

6. Rub into joints of lamb, beef, or chicken before roasting.

7. Dissolve in warm water for brining meats or making pickles.

8. Add to pasta water for authentic Italian cooking.

9. Use in salt crusts to bake whole fish or poultry.

10. Serve in a small dish at the table for a striking, artisanal alternative to table salt.

Extra tip: Coarse Himalayan salt can also be used beyond the kitchen – in bath soaks for relaxation, or as part of a natural scrub when blended with oils.
