“Salt is born of the purest of parents: the sun and the sea” (Pythagoras 580 BC – 500 BC)

Himalayan Pink Salt was originally formed from marine fossil deposits over 250 million years ago during the Jurassic era. Himalayan Crystal Salt originated from the evaporation of the primeval sea by the sun’s energy, at a time when pollution did not exist and planet Earth was an immaculate ecosystem. Throughout hundreds of millions of years of intense heat and pressure from shifting tectonic plates the Himalayan mountains were formed and the salt became crystallized.Himalayan salt is one of nature’s most purest and effective gifts. It’s obvious from the name that the point of origin of this miracle salt is in areas around Himalayan mountain ranges in Asian continent but there are also some deposits in the European region.

When we talk about Asian salt deposits, Khewra Salt mines located in the country of Pakistan is the most famous in this regards.The rock salt at this mine is treasured for its 99% purity and is white and veined or hued with deep orange, pink and red colors. In 326 BC horses of the army led by Alexander the Great, helped mankind to discover the precious treasure of Salt buried in the ancient Himalayan Salt mines and a main tunnel that sits at the mouth of the mine was first opened in 1872.
