Frequently Asked Questions:
- What is the difference between Himalayan salt and regular salt? Himalayan salt is extracted from salt mines in the Himalayas, and is characterized by its pink color and the presence of different minerals. Regular salt, on the other hand, is extracted from seawater or other salt mines, and may be refined and have some minerals removed.
- Is Himalayan salt healthier than regular salt? Himalayan salt contains more minerals than regular salt, but it should be consumed in moderation like any other type of salt. Excessive sodium intake in general is unhealthy.
- What is anti-caking agent (E551)? It is a substance added in small amounts to prevent salt from clumping and maintain its consistency. It is considered safe to consume in moderate amounts.
Important Note: Although Himalayan salt does contain some minerals, the amounts are relatively small and are not considered a major source of those minerals. Minerals must be obtained from a variety of other food sources.
