Delve into the world of salt, specifically sea salt and Himalayan salt, to uncover the truth about their differences and unique qualities. From their unique appearance to their enticing taste and alluring aroma, this comprehensive comparison will guide you through their culinary uses, health benefits, availability, and cost.

Pink Himalayan salt is made from salt rock crystals mined from areas near the Himalayas, usually in Pakistan. Its rose color comes from trace minerals in the salt, such as magnesium, potassium and calcium. Pink salt often appears as smaller crystals in salt mills, as large glowing pink or orange nuggets in pink Himalayan salt lamps, and in spa "salt rooms" that promise instant detoxification in the walls.
