The FoodOboz editorial team has collected useful tips for you on the proper use of pink salt in cooking.

1. How does Himalayan salt differ from ordinary one?

First of all, it should be noted that Himalayan pink salt is mined at the foot of the Himalayan Mountains, in particular in Nepal, India and Pakistan.

Thanks to the volcanic magma that flowed down the mountains into the sea water millions of years ago, saturating it with trace elements and minerals, this salt got its pink color and healthy composition.

Experts say that the composition of pink salt determines its flavor characteristics; it tastes softer than sea salt.

2. How to add it to dishes?

Cooks advise adding it to already cooked dishes before serving.

3. What dishes are suitable for pink salt?

Chefs say that it is best combined with vegetables, mushrooms, fish, as well as for hot and cold dishes and even for pickling.

If you have bought very coarse salt, you can easily grind it with a mortar or even a rolling pin.
