The pink salt L'Himalayen is a pure fossil marine salt which was formed more than 200 million years ago. Huge quantity of salt laid down progressively, in successive strata. The fossilized salt reachs sometimes dozen of meters deep.
During the secondary era, deep dractures disrupted the earth's crust, several continents becoming individuals. Slowly, the Indian continent went toward the North-East, untill colliding with Eurasia to form the Himalaya. The salt of the old ocean was pushed back to the high plateaux (more than 3000 meters high up).
It comes from mineral water that enriches the salt and provides it with characteristics identified by its Himalayan origin, especially the amazing pink colour caused by the high natural iron content.
Unrefined, with additional iodine or other additives, L'Himalayen is totaly pure. Its delicate and subtle flavour, its natural crunch will enhance both your raw and cooked food.
