Himalayan pink salt

after spending a great deal of time reading and thinking about ways to improve my healthy cooking, i have found out some information about Himalayan pink salt.

the salt is hand mined and handwashed, and most often sun dried.
pink salt is believed to be the purest form of salt available, rich in a high mineral and iron content. it is often used by holistic chefs and some health professionals.  pink salt can be used as as substitute for table salt in cooking and baking  most of the pink salt that is used for cooking today is imported through Pakistan.

i have been grating the salt for use in soups and cooking, although i have not yet tried it for baking. since i have been decreasing the amount of salt in our cooking in general, using pink salt has been a wonderful way to accomplish this practice.
